I want to get my mum an MP3 player for her birthday and only have personal experience with iPod. I've heard of Zune, but don't know what else is out there or what would be the most simple device to use to a technologically challenged woman. Any suggestions?
Love makes you do the wacky.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Firefox just upgraded me to Firefox 3, beta 5.

I haven't upgraded. I am always wary of the upgrade. I remember upgrading my window media player, and losing the ability to listen to internet radio. I tried to uninstall the new version and put the old one back on, but it wouldn't let me.

Hey. New board.
I upgraded, too. We'll see if it crashes less for me.

Firefox, Beta 5:
I'm missing my home icon. It was taken away in earlier betas, relegated to a personal toolbar item, now they removed the toolbar item.
I had to drag my homepage link to my personal toolbar. I can rename it "home" but still? I'm not sure why they decided I don't need it.
There must be a setting, somewhere...

Hey. New board.
It's still in my bookmarks bar...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
From what I can tell, Jon (cursory examination only), the more recent version of Thunderbird can achieve deletion from the POP server if you have it set to delete from server when you move messages out of your inbox (not just to trash--to any other folder)--but then you can't keep it in your inbox folder on your local machine.
I'm going to keep looking. It's frustrating to have it be a filter option, but not an option you can exercise using the menu.

Thanks for checking, ita! Sadly, that still doesn't meet my needs.

I might be able to make that work, but I will keep poking around.

What's the best website to upload a file larger than 500 MB? Has anyone used WOOfiles? TransferBigFiles looks good too, but they only host the file for 5 days or 20 downloads.
Oh wait, I've seen people use Up-File before. How's that one? Are any of these as agonizingly slow as MegaUpload?
