Really, just Google "digital photo" + dpi + dimensions, and you'll get a ton of sites that explain it.
I see your uhhhhhhhhhhh and raise you a gnyeh.

A rule of thumb is that the resolution doubles when you halve the size.
This discussion always hurts my brain, because pixels/inch is a digital measurement and dots/inch is a print measurement. They roughly correlate, but they're not the same thing at all.

Thanks. I have googled and think I get it. Since this is for print, dots per inch is a good metric, yes?
OK no. First with rare exceptions when they say dpi they really mean pixels per inch at a particular size. really what we care about is number of pixels. But the dpi and size combines does give me that. If is 72 dpi and 42 x 54 then I can translate that to dpi printed at whatever size.
And when I'm told 600 DPI with minimum dimensions of 5X7 what is really meant is a minimum size 3000X4200 pixels. Now to google vector graphics.

Does anyone know if iTunes has a contact number to actually talk to someone over the phone? I've got a few TV shows I downloaded some time ago and paid for through their store, but for some reason, I can't watch them anymore even though they're still on my hard drive. My music all plays fine, but not the shows.

Kathy, did you upgrade your iTunes version? That's been a problem with some people (including me) watching shows they purchased.
Once the Apple Discussions are back up, check out this thread: [link] -- they recommend contacting Customer Support (and including the link to the discussion) to have them re-authorize the shows for you.
(I have not done this yet because I am a procrastinator and because I bought the shows to watch on my iPod anyway.)

Yes, I did!!! So, that's the culprit.
Do you have the link to the Apple Discussions thread? ETA: Oops, yes, you do!

Apple Discussions seems to be down right now, so keep checking back.
The weird thing is that I can watch TV shows I bought *before* I upgraded my iTunes, but not the ones I bought *after* the upgrade. (On my computer, I mean -- I can't watch on my laptop, where iTunes is installed and was upgraded. Go figure.)
Do you have the link to the Apple Discussions thread? ETA: Oops, yes, you do!
I forgot to post it at first, so it wasn't an oops on your part; I had to edit it in.

Anyone have any dealings with Crutchfield.com?
A little late here. I've ordered a few times from Crutchfield and always had an excellent experience. Good phone customer service too. I know nothing of blu-ray players though.
