What would be the easiest way to save certain voicemails on our house phone permanently?
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Get a recording device and tape it when it plays on speakerphone.

Thanks, Le Nubian. I think we have a tape recorder somewhere, but I was hoping for better sound quality than that will produce without having to buy new equipment. Like a way to transfer it directly to my computer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can probably also record it on a cellphone or a microphone connected to your computer. Not many home phones will have outputs that go directly into a computer, but without knowing what sort you have, it's impossible to say.

Thanks, ita. I'll look into that when I get home and am near the actual phone.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Yeah. Provide more details. You might be able to do a 3-way call to google voice and record too.

Coding and Sleeping
I've heard Paint.Net is a pretty good graphics program that's free and not an obtuse as Gimp. I don't use it myself since I use Gimp.

Hey. New board.
Paint.net is my favorite graphics program on Windows for exactly that reason - I can give it to my middle school students and they can survive, but it's also powerful enough to do basically anything I know how to do on the Gimp or in Photoshop. Which isn't to say it can even scratch the surface of those programs, but it has layers and can do some moderately cool stuff with them.

I think that sounds like a great fit. Thanks, guys!

Am I missing something in Apple Mail? I can't work out how to advance to the next unread. I have over 15 mailboxes. I don't want to eyeball for the single unread item. TireSOME.
