About twelve years ago, I would have answered Harvard Graphics.
Heh. I almost said "Harvard Graphics" when Tom asked.
Wild monkey love or tender Sarah McLachlan love?

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

Well there are recent versions of Harvard Graphics. I'm just not familiar with them. My intent was to say "12 years ago I would have known the answer, and it would have been .." not "12 years ago that was the right answer, and today it is not". For all I know the latest version of Harvard Graphics may rock.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I've been using the latest Firefox 3 beta quite a lot on my Mac. It's really good, I think. Although the lack of extensions is annoying.
Mine have been getting updates to compliance all week. They will come in time.

Hey. New board.
I've been using the latest Firefox 3 beta quite a lot on my Mac. It's really good, I think. Although the lack of extensions is annoying.
It's the first version of Firefox that feels even close to as snappy as Safari or Camino for me. I've never ben able to use Firefox for more than a day or two before I switched back until this release. So for me, any extensions are pretty cool.
My new Firefox wishlist has two elements: 1) crash less. Beta 4 crashes on me at least twice a day. 2) Use the Mac-setup Network options. I have to use a proxy at school and have it set up as a separate location. For Camino or Safari, switching is as easy as Apple Menu->Locations->School, and I'm done. Now I have to do that (for e-mail, IM) THEN go into Firefox's network preferences and switch the proxy on. Even with the addition of an extension like FoxyProxy, there's extra clicking. Annoying.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
So, I keep killing DVD players. That is, I buy and ruin about three per year. I went from buying the ultra cheap $30.00 ones to ones that are more expensive, but marked down. I suspect I kill them because I fall asleep with the DVD on, and even thought I can set my times to turn the TV off, the DVD player is playing and playing and playing.
So-- a) does anyone know of a DVD player with a timer and b) do we think I would be better off just buying the cheap ones over and over?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've been known to leave my DVD player on (and paused on a DVD) for a week or so. I think if I pause it for more than a few minutes, the drive stops spinning, as I can hear it spinning up when I unpause it after a long wait.
My current player was a moderately priced one from Radio Shack.

Yeah, I do the same. Mine's a thirty dollar Walmart special that's lasted about four years now. But to be honest it gets very little use.

Ok- if everyone does this, I am not sure how I am destroying these DVD players! I have to buy a new one every four months or so, and last night my most recent DVD player has now decided that everything I put in it is a bad disc!

I would suspect your house voltage, Sophia. Have all of your dead players been plugged into the same house/dwelling?
Do you have a surge protector for it?

Or is your house built on top of an old cemetery, and they didn't move the bodies?
That doesn't make sense anyway. If they didn't move the bodies, they would have run across them when excavating the foundations of the houses in the development.
Plus it wasn't even a poltergeist anyway. Stupid movie....
