omnis, I checked out AudioHijack, and I'm not entirely certain that would be a better tool for snatching the audio snippet I have in mind than any of the software I currently own. What can AudioHijack do for me that my existing software can't?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anyone here use VBA to control Excel?
What's the VBA code to turn the type in a cell sideways? To do a "merge and center"?

If the XML is coming from a web server, XMLHttpRequest is the usual way. If it's coming from disk, there's no standard way.
Even so, it's probably a good idea to use the standard bits when they work, in case you ever do want to run it on another browser.
For cross-browser compatibility, I highly recommend the Prototype JavaScript library.

not sure what you have Sean,but AudioHijack is really handy in that you can play WHATEVER (dvd, quicktime movie, internet site, game, anything as far as I can tell) and, in essence, record it. Kinda like taking a line from the headphone jack and patching it back in to the input jack, with no wankiness. It's a great quick n dirty tool to snag a sound, especially short ones for ring tones. Pro Tools or GarageBand can't quite do that. Download it. It's free to use if the "hijack" sessions are less than 10 minutes. I finally broke down and purchased a copy, because I was using it for a show to snag the audio from YouTube news feeds.

I'm not sure, but the best way I've found to figure out the VBA for stuff like that is to record a macro that does what you want and then look at the code generated.

Thanks, Jon - it didn't occur to me to try that. (Did I mention that all my VBA programming for Excel and Word has been done in Access?)

as I'm looking for a place to live, can I say how much I love Google Earth, and Google Maps Streetview?!? LOVE IT!
Is there a way to do Streetview in Google Earth?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
You need version 4.3 of Google Earth for that.

So, in the continuing saga of my printing woes --
Nothing I downloaded from the Brother site was able to help. I was able to kind of get printing going again by completely reinstalling the print software from the original CD (which doesn't work either, and requires an update to function). I installed the update, which requires a direct USB connection to see the printer and finish.
I was then able to print directly off the USB, but as soon as I unplugged and tried to print over the airport, printing failed again.
The firmware update is unable to see the printer, no matter what.
There's also a remote connect program, a print control center, and a dashboard ink level widget that I downloaded a while ago, and none of them have ever been able to see printer, no matter what.
This is unbelievably irritating. My printer that I was mostly happy with up until now is almost useless.
