Our wings are not tired

Amazingly I've gotten good prices on interconnect cables through Amazon.

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

Cool. That store's near me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Awesome. I envy your setup.

We're talking new gear, but what with the whole going into debt for the rest of our lives thing and all, dunno if it'll actually happen sooner or later. Nonetheless, that reminds me that I need to call the cable company back. They were supposed to call me, but I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that they didn't.

But I'm pretty sure it's their buried cable at the end of my street-to-be, so I think I've got better odds sticking with the setup I have now (Directv, cable internet, vonage) than trying to get landline phone over there.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have a really technologically illiterate questions.

I signed up for an itunes Season Pass for Supernatural.

I have the first three episodes.

How do I get the 4th episode? I see it there, with an option to buy, but I already paid for it?

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

iTunes Season Pass has been having, uhm, issues recently. In iTunes, if you go to Store -> Check For Purchases... and it still doesn't download, then just be patient, and it will show up eventually.

I can get Leopard for $69 + tax. Is it worth it?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I am moderately tech savvy in some things. Those things do not include audio and video. I'm still living in a CD world, but I want to start copying my CD collection, which is pretty large. I must have at least 1 percent of the music NoiseDesign has. I have been using iTunes. Does anyone have any suggestions for software to copy and organize the music? I'm using Windows XP, and I'll probably be sticking with MP3s. I have no iPod and I'm not sure I can justify one, since I work at home. (With Christmas coming up, you're welcome to try to convince me.) I do have a cheap MP3 player. I also occasionally put music up on the web.

Also, I have a DVD of a concert that I need to divide up into individual songs to put on MySpace and YouTube. Can anyone suggest a fairly simple program for editing?
