the next time they're trapped underground for a month....
Which actually won't be any big deal, what with the iPods and all.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

In defense of the iPod - that was one of the things that was sent down to them along with speakers to provide something to breakup the boredom. They would send it topside when the batteries needed to be recharged.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Really? I read that they'd asked for iPods but that the rescue team had decided not to send them down because they worried that the guys would put their headphones on and kind of isolate from each other.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The articles I've read are reporting like they haven't gotten them yet.

Spidra - that is why they ended up sending down speakers.
ita - correct - they don't have new ones yet, but there was one that was sent down. Not sure where that one came from.

What is the current thingy you guys use for sending ginormous files to each other? I'm bumping up against my email's 5 MB limit and I need to get big photo files to my graphic designer.

DropBox [link] is good.

I feel like such a newbie asking this. At work, I have a lovely new MacBook Pro. For the life of me, I can't get drag/drag lock tappy/swipe thing to work. Yes, I have them selected in the system pref's. I just can't seem to be able to double click a menu bar and have the thing lock to it, so I can move the window around and lift my finger off the touch pad. I've tried click, I've tried double tap (but not clicking), and about to try bashing my head into the damn thing, but I don't think that will work. Is there some silly tip/trick that works? I feel like I need to take a remedial CS class now.

Liese,
Rob is right about dropbox, but I also use Cloud - [link]
Cloud has a size limit, so you can't send big video, but music files, etc. are fine.

Great, thanks, guys.
