Yes, but according to both their FAQ and the library's, it only plays their MP3s. The books I want are only available as Overdrive WMAs.

I use Overdrive all the time, I'm pretty sure if the audiobook has DRM it isn't going to work on Apple products. iPods only support Apple DRM and only Apple provides content with Apple DRM. Probably the easiest solution is a cheap Sansa Clip.

Unless there's an app that supports WMA. I doubt one exists, but maybe it's possible.

Never mind it doesn't do WMA.

Our wings are not tired.

So just got told by IT that my new iPhone has arrived and is being configured. I should be excited yet am filled with ambivalence. Please tell me how silly I am being and that the iPhone 4 is magical and worth my $400?!

I want an iPhone 4 very badly.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I am forgoing mani/pedis and meals out to budget for the magicphonesparklyness.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Even with a Sansa clip, I'd have no way to get the files from the Internet to the device since Overdrive for Mac only recognizes mp3s.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

What's the formula that I need to search a row to find out if any value contains a certain character? Not is equal to, but contains? I need to scan a range for "|", and I can't work out the simplest way. Everything I can think of is unduly convoluted.

I think writing a quick macro using the Find method will work, but maybe that counts as convoluted? [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, that counts as convoluted. I'll just go back to the SQL or something. I hate data.

Thanks, though.
