I weep for all of you. But then I suffered with an 4-gig iPod Mini for years.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Somewhere I have a little case with a handle on top. It would hold 20-25 45's so you could take music with you to a friends house.
Uphill... both ways... in a blizzard.

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

We had one of those! My brother and I used it to carry our James Blish books of adaptations of Star Trek episodes.
But we didn't use it to carry our books to friends' houses, on account of all the blizzards (both ways).

So I screwed up on an ahem and ended up with rar files. How do I join them all up again?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Are you on Mac or Windows, Suela? Either way, you need the un-rar-ing software, but it's free and reliable and easy, so if you post your system details, I'm sure we can help with links.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
So I'm learning how to use the stuff on my new computer, but I haven't found a way to read newsgroups. Is there a way to do that using Safari or the Mail program in OS X? If not, what program should I look for?

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My PC is off in the other room dying. It shut itself off overnight, refused to start this morning (bitched about hal.dll or somesuch), and I finally got it started in safe mode and it's now running chkdsk and finding a bunch of stuff it can't repair.
Irritiatingly it's not one of those that came with an OS disk--it's the sort that expects you to reimage it.
I'm pretty sure I have XP disks around here somewhere--just not the ones that built that machine. Grr. It's unlikely I'll lose much data or evene any apps, but I will lose a buttload of time and perhaps environments I'll need to reconfigure.
