I think it's because I don't sync all that often, and I delete the podcasts I've listened to already before I resync (since I can't stand having to scroll down more than necessary on the iPod).

not your mom's socks.

oh wise ones.

My sister and I are trying to video chat. She is not in the US. And seems to have trouble downloading the AIM client.

I have iChat, so we need it I think to make our computers all chatty.

anyone have any ideas? Does a 30 second download and "thank you" indicate that maybe she has AIM preloaded somewhere and can't find it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There is also Skype. That's what I (OS X) use to talk to my sister (Win 98).

Thanks ita - this is absolutely option #2 - which I have but she doesn't... but it seems she's gotten AIM, finally, so I'm hoping... fingers crossed.

Having tried AIM I like Skype better, FWIW.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

ita, how is your Apple TV working out? When you want to watch something you've downloaded, do you transcode it, or have you hacked the Apple TV and put other codecs on it?

Transcode, Tom. Why?

Welcome too the 22nd century, Sox. It's kinda cool, huh?

I'm trying to decide between an Apple TV and a Mac Mini.
