It's certainly possible, especially if the show in question is at all popular.

I used mininova, and piratebay, what other sites are recommended?

Those are the two main sites I use. Another thing you can try is a place like isohunt, which is a search engine for torrent sites.

okay, I didn't know if there were some that were better than others. Found some with Swedish subtitles at pirate bay, argh!

Is it my imagination, or is it substantially harder to compare laptops than it is for desktops? Or is it just that my husband did the brunt of the research when we bought a desktop?

AMD Athlon dual-core vs. AMD Turion dual-core. Is the only difference that the Turion is newer?

Am I correct that it's better to get more memory (say, 2GB) than a better processor (say, AMD vs. Intel), all things being equal?

Julie, found a mkv converter for you:

oh, bless you, le nubian! I had dug a little more into videohelp and kept finding the need for a minimum of three pieces of software I don't already own. I had given up on the converting and been hunting down other torrents instead.

Thanks!

Sweet weeping Moses. What have I done?!?

I downloaded Adobe Contribute in a last ditch attempt to be able to edit my new website myself. I really am at the very end of the very end of my rope.

I can't for the life of me understand what I did that caused the footer to move to the right, over the flame graphic, when before it was lift aligned with the text. All I wanted to do was increase the font size. Contribute shows me exactly what I want to see, but the actual site has gone kafloogity.

What did I do wrong?

Also, does anyone have experience with Contribute and its not as wysiwyg as they'd lead you to believe?

I edit a piece of text, publish it and then find it has moved or only part of the editing has taken fully.

The software tried, but failed to add a Firefox extension. Could my problems have anything to do with that?

Also, I want to add a text box under the leaves on the right hand side.

Ginger gave me a handy piece of code that put the box in line with the existing text but, try as I might, I could not get it to move over to the right of the screen. Is there a columns problem here? If so, how can I align the box under the leaves and above the flame?

Stepping away from the computer for a few minutes to avoid an overwhelming impulse to put something hard and large through the screen. aaaaaaaagggghhhh.

Am I correct that it's better to get more memory (say, 2GB) than a better processor (say, AMD vs. Intel), all things being equal?

If it were me, I'd go for more memory - I doubt you'll notice the difference in processor brands unless you're building a high-end gaming system.

Bonnie, it works in Firefox but not it IE6, which probably means it needs an IE hack. Sadly, nothing is really WSIWYG.
