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

I agree. The cards are simple, elegant, and, if I recall, a jpg, so folks can right+click and save them, or print them out. No pop up banner. No eye-blinkie annoyance. I'm with you 200%.

I resisted the .mac account. But I got fed up with my ISP wanky e-mail. Then I started making iCal calendars for shows, and it was easy to post to .mac, so I gave in.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I wonder what the possibility I could get my old .mac ID back if I sign up for a free trial account? It's been a couple of years, almost.

I seem to remember that if you quit your account, they offered a forwarding service for free, which would seem to indicate the addy was still available. Try calling rather than signing up on line. Dunno if they'd give you the free month.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

We have a Windows 2000 server that died. It has a 3-disk SCSI RAID array that's set up in Windows (i.e. software controlled). Is it possible to pull the three RAID drives and stick them in an identical server and get Windows to recognize the array?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

What I've heard about RAID arrays is that it actually depends on the motherboard. If you stick it in a machine with a different type of motherboard, they may not work.

You may also have to dink with the BIOS settings to get it to recognize an array.

I'm not following the live thingie (am at lunch) but I want to know if there's new iPods....
