Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Oops, guess I was a week off. Make that next Tuesday.

Argh, crap - I don't know what mouse gesture I did to make Firefox open every link in a new window, but I'd like it to stop. Help?

Huh - maybe, 'cause it's stopped doing it now and all I did was go eat dinner.

I love when things are that easy to fix. Yay dinner!

On the downside, I'm now dealing with a very annoying and persistant trout bone in my throat. Which um, probably has a tech-related solution and is therefore on topic?

Try opening links in new windows?

Mostly lurking...

Does anyone have a set of headphones with a built-in microphone that they're not using (like one that would have come with a cell phone or something)? I need one for my online summer courses and thought I'd check to see if anyone had one lying around before I order one.

What's the OS X version of "reconnect at logon" for a network drive?

Our wings are not tired

ita, you need to add the drive to your startup items. In the users pane of the system prefs you can select startup items for each user. Just add the volumes you want mounted to the list using the "+" button.
