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

If you were skilled in soldering you could solder a thin wire to the plug and pull it out.

There's the Olympus 770 SW

Never used one though.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

On hold w/ Applecare now. They suggested tweezers, which I already tried. Maybe I just need better tweezers.

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

Oh, nice, Gud! If that one feels good in the hand and passes the purse test, it's a serious contender.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Jessica-

It is probably not possible for you to get your hands on tissue forceps or a hemostat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemostat) is it? I think they would work, but I only have access because I am in a school of Nursing

Hee! Sophia, if I can't get this sorted out on my own, I'll ask my mom to snag me a pair from the hospital she works at.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Glad to see Gudanov helped MM. I was going to suggest using WordpressMU because it allows having multiple blogs in the single MySQL database.

ita ... why on earth are you fooling around with Vista? It is utter, utter, utter crap! If you want to fool around with a new OS, try Ubuntu 8.04. Seriously.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Does anyone know anything about SalvageData Recovery Lab Inc. or Drive Savers Data Recovery or have another rec for data salvage? I've got and ancient Mac Color Classic that I honestly don't remember why I wanted the data off of it but 20th-century-me thought it was important and now i've got this dead-to-dying external harddrive that has some data I don't need but would like to get back if it isn't too expensive so I might try to get both recovered. I've been given to understand that it's pricey, but ihave no sense of what order of magnitude that is. Can someone enlighten me so I don't have to do the talking to strangers thing?

And if anyone knows why Stellar Phoenix would crash as soon as I ask it to scan the logical drive it has found (which is on the dead-to-dying hard drive), that would be good to know.

Came on the box. I need a Windows OS for work to maintain compatibility with things up to and including Remote Desktop. I am also using Ubuntu, but that's in a more casual way.

Which reminds me...Gud? Remember the network name issues I was having where I couldn't get the Ubuntu box out of MSHOME? Rebooted the other day and panicked when the OS X box couldn't find Ubuntu. That's because it came up in the right network.

Not sure why restarting Samba only did things like update shares and not reset this.

I would think restarting samba would fix that too. Windows workgroup networking can be a little weird though.
