I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

All is well that ends in pizza.

ION: My "moving data" is up to 9%.

Oh, and I need to buy a usb floppy drive.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

oh god, only 9%!! And it's been how long? That's a progress bar you can't even watch, it's so slow.

Oh, btw, I found manuals and paperwork on those two cameras. Do you want? Or shall the recycle monster munch on it?

10% now. Two days.

I'm hoping for one of those Windows-style suddenly speeds to the end of the percentage things.

As for the camera manuals, maybe I could find the manuals online. Anything special about the paperwork?

not really, except the fact that a) I found them, and b) they survived the move, and c) I found them again AFTER the move. That, in and of itself, is special! Aside from that, the cameras are pretty basic. Nothing you couldn't figure out, I'm sure. Didn't know if you were the type that liked everything or not. Either way, let me know. Happy to post them. Otherwise, to the paper recycle they go.

The status is NOT quo.

I know I've become a Mac snob, but man oh man does having to use Windows make me miss Leopard. (And why am I using Windows, you may ask? Because I am addicted to Dr. Who and just realized I can watch it instantly via Netflix...but only on a Windows-based PC. Curses!)

Oh, speaking of mac and windows. There is an app at work that seems to require Win98. Can I install that on the mac, and make a triple boot machine? Is that with Parallels only? Since I found the OS install disks with code, and the old computer bit the big byte in the sky, seems only fair to do it. Just not sure if possible. I know I can do XP or Vista, which I also will be doing (XP).

I'm pretty sure you'll have a hard time getting windows 98 to run on modern hardware of any sort.

Looks like there is a way to do it with Parallels 3.0, but it looks pretty involved. Here's a site that walks you through it.

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

Doctor Who is on the iTunes Store now.

Hey. New board.

but only on a Windows-based PC

I got annoyed enough by this that i just spent $99 on this Netflix break-out box (which, since I don't have Parallels or any sort of Windows license, is not too bad) It should arrive this week. My hope is that it works well enough i can downgrade to 2-at-a-time, which will make my netflix subscription an even better deal.
