I can't get Excel to open any files I've created in the past week. Excel just thinks about it for a while and then crashes. I can open older files just fine and I've opened the recent files on another computer without a problem. While on the other computer, I saved the file under a different name but my computer still wouldn't open it. WTF?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Why the fuck did Google Images fancy up its results display?

Lee, could it be that they merely renamed the file extension to make it look like an archive but isn't? The other possibility it to try downloading it to a non-Mac and try opening it there.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I actually think this is it. I did try to open it that way last night, or at least thought I had, and it didn't work, but this morning I tried again and it did.
YAY.

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

Oh yeah. That's a common trick to get around filters that look for the .mp3 extension. Does it have a .zip extension? Try changing that to .mp3 or whatever it's supposed to be.
xposty... Also, yay!

Sounds odd enough to maybe be a virus, OTOH, it's almost never actually a virus. Sort of like the first diagnosis on House.

Microsoft's anti-spyware software appears to have locked up on my work computer. I like my Windowless home computer.
BTW, if you want to try the Enlightenment desktop, Ubuntu is the way to go. Insanely easy to install and get running.

Anyone having bad slowdowns with Firefox 2.0.0.1 under Windows (XP in my case)? I've switched to Opera because of the slowdowns I kept having with Firefox. At home, I haven't had any problems with Firefox 2.0.0.1 under Linux.

No.
I'm running Firefox 2.0.0.1 on my work computer (XP, current on updates).
I forget - is 2.0.0.1 more or less of a RAM hog than before?
