Ginger, if you're still looking, I have used [link] and they're free with no limitation (that I've ever reached) no ads, and no proprietary software to read faxes - they come in TIFF format. Bonus if you live in Seattle because all the numbers are 206 area code.

So... Google Desktop? What will it do for me that I can't do already in Mac OS X?

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

Not that much (I think). The coolest thing about Google Desktop is it can search your whole computer, but if you have a recent version of OS X you already have Spotlight.

Plus Vista has a search thing too, right?

All is well that ends in pizza.

That reminds me.

A coworker is always gushing about the new things he is finding in Vista.

He knows I'm a Mac guy and the other day he was gushing away about the new Vista search and then turned to me.

"I suppose Mac users had that already."

Not wanting to start up the war again, I hesitated. "Well, Um..."

He looks at me, and said "Fucking Macs."

My laugh at his delivery echoed in the office.

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

Very useful.

Okay. I'm gruntled and need some guidance geared toward a total twit.

I built my old website on ipowerweb and decided to move to dreamhost because I fancied that I didn't like the control panel and wanted something easier. What was I thinking?

On dreamhost, I can't even find the control panel and pretty much everything I've read in terms of help (on the wiki and otherwise) is greek to me.

Is there some additional tool I need? I have constructed all my past files with raw html and then just cut and paste to change copy. I have no problem doing that again...I don't need a fancy editor. I've gotten the first two pages up but I've got waaay too much to do to be wandering around the dreamhost site like an idiot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Every time I go to that page, I get something about cron jobs and I'm immediately defeated. I have no clue what that even is!

Yes. That's what I've been doing. Is there another way?
