Perhaps everyone else knows this already, but I just discovered that there is now an iPhone app that allows you to listen to a public radio station. Actually, the one I found is just the public radio station I grew up listening to (Minnesota), but it's a pretty good one.

Stephanie, do you remember the name?
I have the Pandora app installed and I love it, but getting NPR would be pretty awesome.

search for mpr radio - I've been listening all morning. Ellie likes to watch movies on our computer and there is no local NPR so this is perfect for me.

All is well that ends in pizza.
This one [link] is for Minnesota public radio, which is an NPR station.
I haven't explored it, but it my let you choose other NPR stations.

Thanks, LeNubian. Unfortunately, CDBurnerXP doesn't appear to support burning video CDs or video dvds.
Via LH, this looks like a possibility, though: [link]

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
This one [link] is for Minnesota public radio, which is an NPR station.I can haz NPR News on my phone! ok, so it's MPR, but close enough. Doesn't appear you can select other NPR locals. Just between classical, current, and news.

Okay, I'm about ready to slam my iMac into a wall! I'm having two the following problem:
1. I'm unable to download and open files from iDisk. I've tried accessing them from my Mac through the Finder and the app that they should open in (Word) hangs and never opens. I then tried it from the me.com Web site and they look like they've downloaded (file on desktop) but when I try to open them, Word hangs and never opens. This is a HUGE problem as I've been saving all my schoolwork to iDisk as that seemed like the safest way to go!
2. I was working on a doc in Word that I created in Word for Mac. Word crashed. When re-opened Word and then the doc, the formatting was all stripped and some text was missing. Argh! I recreated the file and saved it but when I re-opened it, it opened that effing stripped one again with missing text! I found the file. It was saving in a different location after the crash. !@#$%## Word.
Can anyone help?

Hey. New board.
Can you see if the files will open in TextEdit? It will lose some of the formatting, but at least it's a way to check if its a file problem or a Word problem.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
the only other suggestion I could make is do you have a google docs account? See if you can import the files (after download) there and see if google docs can open them.
