And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Okay. Who can tell my why the PDF passport application I'm trying to print is getting shrunk down to 1/4 size??? In the preview window it looks fine, but no matter what scaling option I choose it's printing out at 25% the size it should be, centered on the page.

As far as I know our printer drivers are up to date. I'm printing to a networked Epson (plugged directly into DH's laptop) from a Macbook Pro.

Anyone have an Office Depot near them? Apparently one/some have Seagate Passport 750GB portable drives on clearance today.

I've had one of these (1 TB) for over a year now, and it works great. It started life as a Time Machine drive + media server, then got transferred to being a video editing repository.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So, what's the easiest way to wipe a hard drive on an XP machine? Boot into DOS 5 and reformat? That's what I used to do, anyway. But so far I haven't been able to find our DOS disk.
