I have many, many transformer blocks. They are all the same voltage. They are all made by no-name companies in China. In the course of the Great Office Reorganization of Aught Eight, I've lost track of which was which. Does it matter? Also, why the hell isn't there a universal transformer with lots of outputs, so we could plug all this crap into the same transformer? Is it a Chinese plot?
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I have a large collection. Mainly because the all seem to be different amperges and ends on them, and some are reversed polarity.

So I'd like to rip an audiobook on cd to my iPod, but there appears to be some DRM in place. Anyone have any recommendations for shareware for ripping cds?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do you have any details on the DRM? What is the audiobook?

It's a Chabon novel. The files are .cda format. I don't know what the DRM is, other than that Windows Media Player can't rip the cd.

Can you play it in a regular CD player?

iPod update - it worked fine for the tech. Of course. But he said, based on the problem I described but he couldn't duplicate, it is basically a matter of time now before it dies for good. Sigh.

I'm visiting my uncle, and his HP laptop DVD drive will not open. It does not appear in bios or device manager. I suspect it is not getting power, as the access light didn't blink when I scanned for new devices. The drive does not appear to be removable. Any thoughts of what it could be or how to fix it?
