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

do you see a gmail icon in the menu bar of Chrome? I think if you go to extensions, you can see if you installed the Gmail one.

If it is installed, you might try deleting the extension, purging cookies again, closing Chrome and re-opening it.

Otherwise, I would just uninstall Chrome and reinstall it. Chrome might just be having a bad day.

I have a .wmv file that needs to play in a standard dvd player. I knew how to do this before my family killed my brain. Help!

Trying to create Gmail filter on reply to. The search is ultra-simple replyto:lbo-talk@lbo-talk.org

But to create a permanent filter - the reply-to field is not in the filter form. Any way around it?

BTW for getting old emails into gmail:

there are free apps you can download to do this, or:

1) for emails: turn imap temporarily on in gmail. add your google account to your client as imap account. Once you are connecting simply copy emails within your client from inbox or sent or whatever to label of your choice in gmail (which will look like a folder to your app.)

2) for contacts export to CSV. Use gmail feature that imports CSV contacts.

OK figured it out. The gmail field "has the words" if used without checking anything is actually for freeform query filters.

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

I wish I could help, Ginger. My Mac-ness leaves me a bit bereft when it comes to things like .wmv.

How do you record Skype Video? If the cameras at both end are decent can you get decent video? In general, how do you do decent remote video interviews for youtube, and maybe for incorporation in real documentaries? Can it be done on a low budget with OK quality? What format does this the end result need to be in for editing? Can the fact that this is going to be talking heads and maybe some street shots let me get away with any money saving short cuts?
