I use pidgin and it's excellent. [link]
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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

Hey. New board.
Oh, wow, Pidgin is very clearly a cousin to Adium, my favorite ever IM program (Mac only). I didn't know about that! now I know what I'll be recommending to my Windows/Linux friends...

Is there a way I can convert an mp3 to a WMA file?

Nevermind. I fixed my problem another way.

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

Maybe it should be pointed out that this malware prompts you to ask if you want to install it (pretending to be a video codec). Unlike much Windows malware, which can infect just by going to a website (if your computer is not up to date with patches).

Just installed Leopard on the Mini. Yay!
Quick (and hopefully easy) question. I have an external USB drive I want to use for Time Machine that has 100GB of stuff I don't want to lose. I figure I'll use the Disk Utility to partition the drive into two volumes. If I do that, will all the existing data be erased? Or will it be saved onto one of the two partitions?

In Leopard, you can resize disk partitions without losing data. Or so I hear. I haven't tried it yet personally.
