So, I absolutely DID NOT just knock my ipod into a (freshly flushed, thankfully) toilet. Who would do that?! If I had, though, and had already shaken out as much water as possible, and used canned air at every opening to try to get rid of more water, would I then want to try to pry it open for further active drying or leave it alone to dry on its own (while perhaps lighting a candle for it)?

A common recommendation is to bury it in uncooked rice for a couple of days.

I am posting from my new HP TouchPad, scored at the firesale. It's my first tablet and I like it a lot, so far. I may have squeed aloud. In fact, I did.

Now to find apps.

Will try that as soon as I get home, Ginger, Thx.

Yes, bury it in rice. I'd even move the rice around once a day or so. Or swap it. You are trying to use the moisture sucking properties of the rice to steal the moisture hiding in your iPod.

An email address just landed in my lap. itahackerfb@gmail.com was resetting their email address, and my email was the back up addy. Which is only better because the whole is in Malay or some language I don't understand.

So I reset the password, because I'm nosy like that, and now it's empty and mine. What?

How can you number pages in word across multiple documents so the first page in the 2nd document has a page number of the last page in the first document plus 1? Without setting the page number in the second document manually?

It's kinda poetic that ita ! pseudo hacked the address to get itahacker as her address.

In Word, under Insert/Page Numbers/Format, you can input the start number on the second document as the next page number from the first. If the number of pages changes in document 1, you'll have to reset that, but then the rest of the pages number automatically. That may be what you think of as manually. Is there some reason this can't be put into one file at the end?

That may be what you think of as manually

That is what I think of as manually. I have to submit my 29 chapter work as 29 separate files. Breaking one big file into 29 files is a PITA. And trying to main 29 separate files that constantly change in number of pages and have to maintain page numbering across files is a PITA. I was hoping there was some way to enter a formula for starting page number that links across files, so that when chapter increases in number of pages all 28 others adjust. So far working in one big file and dividing it at the end works best but still a lot of repetative labor.
