It would be no prob. You have my addy, right? I love Sibelius. It`s saved us countless hours. Well worth the big bucks.

I feel like this should be easy, but I can't figure it out. I just transferred several documents onto a CD, and I want to write the filenames on a label. Is there anyway to just export the filenames in text without having to retype the whole list?

Vortex, is this Windows?

If so, open a DOS window and change to the directory or drive where the files reside. Run this command:

dir * > filelist.txt

Then open filelist.txt. You may have to delete that filename from the list.

eta:

This will produce a nicer list:

dir /B * > filelist.txt

eta²:

If on a Mac, use:

ls -1 * > filelist.txt

Note that this will only list the current directory - you need a different command to get subdirectories listed.

Anybody got some DDR PC3200 memory lying around?

I have been stuck on how to set up a video station for showing the Red Cross training dvd in my house while teaching cpr/first aid classes. No tv.

However, I DO have a potentially unreliable G5 tower with only 512 on-board, which is not enough to even boot the thing...apparently.

Should it boot with 512?

I will gladly trade 2 512 PC-133, plus teehee...1 64mb PC133U.

Postage paid, of course.

I found a website, Server Supply, that offers what I need for $20. Granted, that's piddling, but I can't fathom paying even that if the old girl won't sing.

Whaddya think?

Thanks, Tommy!

Bonnie, it should boot with 512Mb.

Try re-seating the ram, and check to see if it has a dead battery on the motherboard.

I'm betting it's likely to be the 3.6v 1/2AA battery that's stopping the boot.

Then, if it boots, you can splurge for some well-deserved RAM in confidence.

(Not that I couldn't find a use for the 2 sticks of PC133 512MB RAM, I just have nothing to offer in trade.)

Quick check: We're prepping for a long car trip and have a MacBook and an iPod and an '03 Civic hybrid; on the old car it was easy enough with one of those cassette player connector thingies to get the iPod to play on the car stereo, but so far I'm getting a doomy feeling about this...everywhere I look online, all I get is various people warning that a MacBook will totally suck the life out of any and all car batteries without a heavily Macgyvered arrangement of cables and adapters that have to be special ordered and will run us a hundred dollars and change, and a whole other set of Macgyvers for the iPod for another hundred dollars and change. So now I'm boggled and discouraged.

Am I in fact understanding this correctly, that there's no simple way to connect our stuff to our car without killing either the car or the stuff, plus our budget? Or am I being a total idiot and using all the wrong search terms and there are in fact perfectly obvious solutions for all this that we can grab from the Apple store downtown in one quick trip?

I take it it doesn't have a cassette player, JZ?

You can use one of those radio adapater things--plug the radio bit into the ipod, it broadcasts on a station, you tune the radio to that station. It can sometimes be a bit tough as you drive on a long drive, because you have to keep changing it, but it shouldn't be more than $30?

Some people say they've had a lot of trouble finding a station to work in urban areas with lots of stations on the radio (you have to find one with just fuzz) but I've not had many problems.

If my diabolical plan does not see fruition, it's yours. Send me a snailmail address via profile addy.

Least I could do, given your assistance over the years!
