If I install Firefox, do I have to uninstall IE? Windows gets very huffy if it doesn't have IE to hide behind.

Dumbass question: anyone have experience with apple's refurbed merch?My iMac is a refurb. I'm trying to talk new job into getting refurb mac laptop, as it will save lots of money. If you have hesitations, go for the Apple Service Plan. If your getting a laptop, it's not a bad idea either way.
About to take plunge and plug in iPhone. Should be OK by now.

I'm going to give it until Monday. I expect that the drama will have dialed down by then.

Connie, no. I keep both for the random site that doesn't like Firefox.

non- iPhone question. I know many of you have Skype. I have the free version for skype-to-skype talking. But new area is wanting local number for gate access and stuff. Does anyone have the thing that gives you a local number? what's it called? How much? The site is kinda vague about it, and my net connection is flakey right now (borrowing wi-fi from neighbor), so their pages are taking FOREVER to load.

The status is NOT quo.
Dear Techy BF,
Please to buy your loving GF a new iPhone. She's been very, very good and would really like to replace her screwed up BlackBerry.
Kisses,
Your Favorite GF EVAH

I got a refurbed macbook, but I figured by doing that I could afford Applecare. It came with a wonky clickymouseybit, randomly. But when I took it to the apple store, they fixed it.

I'm FINALLY updating my iTouch software!
As it seems that technology is out to get me, I had to reboot my cable modem several times before I had an Internet connection. More as it develops....

Of course, this morning, that deal is gone, which I expected. Now if mine will just last until something similar comes up. For now, I AM glad I waited, because it reassured me that I did not want the 13" at all (and holy god, the store was a madhouse. Worst day ever if you wanted to buy anything else.) And I was waffling. Now if I just get lucky.

Our wings are not tired
Check the Apple store in the middle of the night for a few days. Their best deals get posted in the wee hours and are snapped up quickly.
