Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Once again I turn to the hivemind. I have iTunes on my home PC. It's synced to my iPod. i just downloaded iTunes onto my laptop and signed in, so it knows it's me. A co-worker told me I should now be able to plug in my iPod and it would put all my stuff on the laptop. But it won't. It tells me the iPod can only be synced with one library and it won't pull anything off of it. Am I doing something wrong, or is my co-worker simply mistaken?

coworker is mistaken. ipods (for the most part) work only one way on itunes.

Does anyone use an online fax service to receive faxes? I need my fax machine something like 10 times a year these days, so it doesn't seem worth the space it takes up.

By the way, one use of the fax is a client who faxes me web pages she's printed out. **headdeskheaddesk**

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

one use of the fax is a client who faxes me web pages she's printed out.

Heh.

I wonder if somewhere out there in the corporate world, if there's an executive who prints up web pages, gives the printout to his secretary to type up, has her print that out, and then faxes that to someone.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I once had a client who, when we requested a screenshot, did a printscreen, printed it, and faxed it to us.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Ginger, I use eFax as my back-up. The free service only allows 3 page faxes (as I recall) and you can't fax out but it's not very expensive for the paid service.

ginger,

I have used jfax, but I currently pay for maxemail which sends my voicemail and faxes to email. It is barely worth paying for (so little voicemail I get), but It is worth it not to have to call to check voicemail all the time.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Nah, they'll snap back.

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

That would be cool. I remember the days of Marathon from Bungie. The thinking persons alternative on the Mac vs the shoot everything in sight FPS of Doom on Win. Ahhhh. I even have the Marathon symbol on my players arm in Halo.
