I believe that's what they are doing.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
You can always borrow my Snow Leopard DVD if you need to.
Hopefully, Lion will come with some sort of method to burn a recovery DVD or USB key.

Thanks - I'll let you know if I need it!
If Ethan's laptop is running Snow Leopard (which I think it is - it's at least a generation newer than mine) I'm hoping I can buy a family license and just burn the installer to a thumb drive.

(Damnit, now I've started browsing the Apple store. Please tell me I do NOT have the money to buy a new laptop. Even a refurbished one. Seriously, I don't.)

I mean, since there are still plenty of people out there running Leopard who might still want to upgrade to Lion?
Well, they are saying Snow Leopard is a requirement for the upgrade, so they may be going that route. One thing though, the family pricing just went down. The download will allow up to 10 machines to install the upgrade.

I *really* hope they wouldn't remove the option for people to wipe the old machine and do a clean install of the new OS.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I have a really, really basic question.
I know nothing of XML files, particularly how to create them. Our Web host (who is THE DEVIL) told us today that we need to send an XML file with all our article files every month. They even gave us the example (code? text? I don't even know what it's called) of what the file needs to say, and what variable changes every issue.
I do not know HOW to make an XML file. I pasted the text (code?) into Word 2004, and there's no save as XML option.
I'm on a Mac, 10.4.11 (Tiger), with Word 2004, Quark XPress 6.5, Acrobat 8.
I have TextEdit that comes with the Mac, and it does have a Save As Word XML option. When I do that, though, and then open it in Word, there's WAY more code (text?) than the original chunk of code (text?).
So...how do I make a frigging XML file?

This sounds like something that needs to be scripted, and not something you would want to do manually. Seriously.
