I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I haven't done it often, Connie, but putting the same keys back is what I have always done.

The laptops are both Windows machines, Beverly?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yes, they are.

I went ahead and dl'd 11 this morning. I didn't get the prompt or the autodownload when I restarted and went to iTunes, and 11 looks and functions a little different so I had to learn my way around a bit. I finally lucked across a "download" button, and boom: progress bar. I have the latest ep in my season pass, and six more after this one, and right now I'm really cranky with iTunes. This is the second rather large screwup I've had with them, and I'm tired of that dance. If I want pre-dvd copies of tv eps, I'll ahem them somewhere.

Did you have some advice? I'd be glad to listen--anything to help get this bitter taste out of my mouth.

No, I don't know the Windows version of iTunes at all. I wanted to be helpful, but I can't. Sorry!

Hey, thanks for the thought, though. I'm done stomping and flinging soft and unbreakable objects around the room, now. We're all good.

Anyone know how to protect an Excel 2007 worksheet so that I can let my freelancers select from the drop-down menus I've created, but not accidentally delete them? In Word there's an option to "restrict access to filling in forms" which is what I want here, but I can't find the equivalent option.

[edit: Nevermind, I think I actually don't need this. Yay.]

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Speaking of frustration with iTunes... in a related note... has anyone else JailBreak their AppleTV? I'm thinking of doing that tomorrow.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Feedly is proving to be a completely inadequate replacement for Google Reader. It's just incompetent at marking things as read and syncing between browser sessions.

Anyone else using a service they're happy with?

That's sad. I haven't been having any problems, but I'm only using it on the computer.
