Finally fixed it. Got distracted fiddling with google.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey. New board.
Why oh why did IE reject PNG for so goldarn long? I've been using it for, seriously, years. I have a book that was written 10 years ago saying that it was the future.
Although, apparently SMF (the web forum I use over on my other community) converts all avatars to PNG when it resizes them, and i haven't gotten any complaints that avatars are available. So are we sure about that IE thing? Maybe IE pre 7 just sucked at the transparency bit?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Assistance please.
My editor at Oxford American sent my article back with edits to review.
It seems to be in a binary file, but not one my Mac recognizes. I thought it might be a .rar, but no.
Would it be possible to forward it to somebody to be opened and sent back as a Word doc, por favor?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
sure. Send it to me! Me! Me!
eta: Assuming I can do anything with it. What's the extension (if there is one)?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
There's no extension listed. That's when I threw on the .rar, but my UnRar didn't like it.
Thanks, Tommy!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yeah, I get files with no extensions from Mac users (usually). If Tommy can't figure it out, send it my way. Although I wonder if it is a word perfect file...

'twas a Word doc. Oddly, my MacBook said it was an Excel file (I don't have Office for Mac so my Mac couldn't do anything with it anyway). My XP VM did not recognize it, but when I gave it a .doc extension, it opened in Word.
Hec, insent....

Yep, I got it open in Word by adding the .doc extension. You think it could've figured that out!
Thanks, Tommy.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Does anyone know of a way to disable buttons on a desktop keyboard, in this case, a Dell wireless keyboard? It has these internet buttons on the top that get inadvertently pressed all the time (specifically the back button, which causes me to lose pages to my endless consternation). Seems unlikely but I thought I'd give it a try.
