I never thought of the "text to table" thing!
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

meara (and all of you), thanks to infinity.
I've never seen the merge cells checkbox and had to drill down a bit to find it. It wasn't even actually checked, oddly enough, but had a - sign in it.
Duly unchecked, I now have a perfectly sorted list and a tremendous sense of relief.
Thankee!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
WoooHooo! The Gigabyte fairies came by and sprinkled some expansion dust on my .mac account since 2am. Now at 10 Gig's instead of 1. A full 10 days ahead of schedule. :)
Maybe they are doing it alphabetically by account name (good to be a B!)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I hate Cafe Press. Would anyone be able recommend an alternative?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My PowerBook won't, well, power on.
If I pop out the battery, plug it into the wall and hit the power button I hear a hard drive whir, it plays a chord, and then is silent.
I must be overlooking something painfully obvious, right? But what?

Hey. New board.
It seems stupid, but is it possible for some reason it's defaulting to the screen being all the way down in contrast?
If it's really chording and then not powering on (as in, capslock button doesn't light up or anything) then... no, you're probably not missing something painfully obvious. Something bad is happening. I'm not sure how Macs deal with dead hard drives - never really experienced one, despite many other problems - but it might be worth trying to boot from some sort of bootable CD, if you've got one.

I left it alone for an hour, and now it's working again.
I don't have the energy to work out why, but thanks for giving it a shot.

Hey. New board.
No problem. Can't sleep. And the leave-it-alone-an-hour is my favorite way to fix things.
Sadly, it has not fixed the "q" key on my laptop since I spilled water on it. Or the CTRL key. Any suggestions on curing obnoxious keyboard stoppages? Anybody? Bueller?

I haven't used it myself, but people seem to like Zazzle.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I totally don't need this, but this is the awesomest CD player evah: [link]
