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

The Dock now expresses itself as a silly reflective shelf. My objection to this is not merely the business of "wasting cycles drawing trendy 3D junk." In order to accommodate the reflection, the Dock icons have to sit considerably higher than before, robbing the user of valuable screen real estate.

Unless you're weird like me and put the dock on the side.

So far I'm liking Leopard, but I've only used it a few minutes and haven't installed any apps yet.

I am so over leopard already, and I haven't even used it, just lost my husband for various hours this weekend while he installed it.

When we were having the "should we buy this" debate, he said, "It has 300 new features!" I said, "Name one." Ten minutes later he came up with, "It has a Danish language spelling dictionary!" I said, "Name one that is actually useful to us."

We bought it anyway, of course. Oh well, some people's husbands drink.

As a Madden Playstation widow, I'm right there with you.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

This may be impossible, but-

I apparently have 3 computers authorized to play my itunes music. One of them is a work computer at a former job, and the other is deader than a doornail at my house. Is there any way to rid myself of this?

You're allowed a total of five computers. I have a similar situation - I think they make you wait until you try to authorize a sixth computer before they give you the option to deauthorize one.

There is. You can deathorize all computers via your iTunes account and then authorize only the one you actually want authorized. I know I did it once and I should be able to figure out how...

Edited because I found it, and then some more because I cannot format, whee:

Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than 5 authorized computers or if you have used this option within the last 12 months.

To deauthorize all computers associated with your account

1. Click iTunes Store in the Source pane.

2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.

3. Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.

4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.

My dock is on the side...always has been...are we firebrands or something?

It seems most practical, what with scrolly bars on the bottom (especially for audio editing) The left side of the screen gets used the least, as it's usually a margin. Bam. Dock goes there.
