Thanks everyone! I'm pretty sure I've used the RealPlayer option for some attempts, but I can keep trying knowing that others have gotten intermittent connections.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

It appears that Linspire and Ubuntu are going to do a lot of sharing of features.
Pretty interesting (for a limited audience), especially the prospect of easily installing commercial software.

Thank you all for introducing me to Dream Host! I'm extremely happy with them already and have moved my old domain over and registered my new one. ND found a $97 off (!!) coupon code if you pay two years in advance, so I just got two years of hosting for $93! I'm very happy.

DH's computer has a weird problem -- it seems to be in denial over the existence of its built-in speakers.
With headphones plugged in, the audio works normally. Without headphones, there's no audio at all. The Sound preferences tell me that no settings exist for the selected device ("Digital Audio Out -- Built-in Audio" which is the only option listed), and the volume controls are grayed out.
Oddly, when the headphones are plugged in, the setting switches to "Line Out - Built-in Audio," but it's still the only option listed.
I know the internal speakers still work because when I restart the computer, it still bings.
There has to be some setting I'm overlooking, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it could be. Apple's support site only offers help for people who have plugged their speakers in incorrectly, not for people with no speakers at all.
[eta: I'm going to try the solution at the bottom of this page and report back. Seems like this is a known issue to users, if not to Apple.]
[eta2: fixed, though I don't know if the command-option-p-r thing helped any. I restarted a few more times and plugged and unplugged the speakers until "Digital Out" switched to "Internal Speakers" Very odd.]

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Getting a single tone during an iBook boot process is a Very Bad Thing, right?

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