And (Drew has personally hammered this into my head) it REALLY helps to listen to a high fidelity recording. Using most rock songs is bad for this kind of test, because most rock songs use so much distortion and whatnot to create their "wall of sound".

I'm using a Mac and Firefox. Whenever I open a PDF file from a web site, it automatically saves to my desktop. How do I make it stop that?

I'm using a Mac and Firefox. Whenever I open a PDF file from a web site, it automatically saves to my desktop. How do I make it stop that?

When you click on a link for a PDF, you don't get any dialog box at all? I get one that asks if I want to open it (and if so, with which application) or if I want to download it, and if so, where.

Thanks! That worked! (I was getting very sick of my desktop getting cluttered with every menu I looked at.)

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I wish restaurants would just put them up in HTML. I am SO SICK of PDF shovelcontent.

Mostly lurking...

I need Excel help. I have a master spreadsheet of my after school list. I want to create sheets in that spreadsheet that automatically pull from the master list, so if I make a change to the master list, it will change on each day's sheet. Do I need to use an "If"?
