There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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

Or am I being too optimistic?

My recent experience with web developers jives with yours, so probably.

I am SO not a web developer, and I could have fixed that for you, Ginger. Because I had one 8-hour XHTML class AND I HAVE A BRANE.

Gah, Ginger! Helloes, peoples!

I think they are probably getting it from the IP address.

Blargh. Nothing I can do about it, then.

Okay. What is up with this?

I have downloaded Quicktime 7 at least 7 times. It works perfectly right after downloading but...if I should have the audacity to click on a movie preview that is intended to be viewed as hd, OR if I shut down and restart for any reason at all...Quicktime stops working. (and I get an error message that says I don't have it.)

It's a complete and total mystery to me.

Has this happened to anyone else?

I have had no XHTML or HTML classes and only 1/2 a brane, and I could have fixed this with access or known to pass it on to the right person if I didn't have access. I know people who work with tech people who don't, but they probably would have passed this on to me (or someone like me) at the first exchange. You have my sincere sympathies, Ginger.

What is even happening?

How do I save a screenshot of a webpage? Do I just do click on "file" and then "save as"?

To take a screenshot, press Alt and the PrintScreen key. That will copy the active window. You can then paste it into Word or Paint and save it that way. File-->Save won't let you take a screenshot, but you could also try saving it as a complete webpage or web archive. That's hit or miss, depending on what the page contains.

Thank you, Dana. I've done both.

Is there any relatively simple way to play a movie from my computer on to my tv screen?

You probably need something like this: [link]

(Note: I haven't researched all the options, so I don't know if there's a more economical way. Also, I don't know what inputs your TV has, or what outputs your computer has)
