Especially not taking cash is shady. OK I know a lot of doctors don't take cash. But for a retailer to refuse cash?
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

I can get a charity not taking cash as there is no way to track cash. Online donations go straight to the charity account. When we did our silent auction tracking the cash payments was the most challenging part and we had something to track against. With just taking donations in front of a store, I can see the allure from the side of the charity.

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

Ann, that's a ferret.
I have a question on PC/Mac convertibility. We have an old PC that's about to give up the ghost after I've forgotten how many years (at least 5 or 6). Over time, we bought a couple of Seagate external hard drives to hold information (family photos and the like).
So we're shopping for a replacement, and Apple is an option. But we're worried that we might not be able to access our existing info on an Apple when we've stored it on (or maybe via is a better word -- I'm not sure) a PC?

Macs can mount PC-formatted drives, but you might have trouble with files over 4GB. (I think that's the limit I've encountered before - others might correct me.)

All is well that ends in pizza.
Macs should be able to read any PC data you have.
Plus? you can even install a copy of windows to run either in dual-boot or concurrently (using a program called Parallels for the latter).
I have had to install a free driver for NTFS, but that's on a much older Mac.

Yeha, that is retail charity at best. Or sub-retail. I would never give a credit card to some guy hanging out in front of a store or on a sidewalk.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Jessica is right to be cautious of very large files, but otherwise, Macs can read PC external drives. They are typically read-only so you probably can't write on it (or so I have found).
