Well then, I volunteer to be your librarian consultant. (Though a librarian at your University would probably be helpful as well, and will definitely know more about the quirks of working with Hebrew and any local tech issues.)

Vortex,

I just bought a refurb Ipad and I am as happy as can be! Cheaper price, things works (it is brand new for all intents and purposes) and it has Apple's warranty.

Whee!!!

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

I got my iPhone 3G as a refurb about almost 2 years ago and it's had no more problems than I'd expect from a bought-new one -- it's a little scratched and banged and I'm itching for an iPhone 4 now, but that's the 2 years talking, not the refurb.

Google Docs question:

I'm setting up a form that feeds its answers into a spreadsheet (so that I can gather lab results from all my students and then share class data with those students). It's a pretty long form, so I've broken it into several pages. Is there any functionality to add a "save" button for the person filling out the form so that a partially filled form may be (a) saved at intervals (like every page) in case of computer crash, and/or (b) saved at intervals so that it can be returned to / completed in multiple stages/sessions? I haven't been able to find anything.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Una,

no, I don't think so. I think you can do a work around.

1) have different spreadsheets that have different parts of the form

2) create a final spreadsheet that combines the data from the other spreadsheets into one form.

what you would need to do if you do the above is make sure everyone has a unique id so that you can match the responses across each spreadsheet.

is the above clear.

Passing this on from a friend - is there a legal way to burn iTunes video (purchased) to a playable DVD?

Our wings are not tired

I've purchased quite a few reconditioned Apple products over the years and have had great luck. Quite a few MacBook Pros and a few iMacs. Apple also replaced my iPhone 3G when my original one died and their replacements are reconditioned, it worked fine the whole time I used it.

My refurbished iPod has been a dream--it's lasted the longest of all three of my iPods. I've rarely had to reboot it!
