follow-up: Anyone know a way to install itunes on a machine where you don't have administrator rights? I think it can be done, but I just can't figure out how.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

SA, I don't think it can be done.

It's okay, I found a workable solution. YamiPod lets me copy music on and off the ipod, and is portable with the ipod. No installation required. A little buggy, but infinitely useable.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is my new phone: [link]
It's pretty cool for a prepaid cell service. It flips open to expose a qwerty keyboard (or I can use the numeric keypad on the outside). It can send text messages to email accounts and has a web browser. There is also a simplified front-end to gmail. And it has mobile AIM service (which I probably won't use).

Yes. It is someone of a PITA in that I have to scroll past all the stuff on the left of b.org to get to the posts, but it works OK. And it remembers my login. I've used it to read Natter, and posted a few times....
Only $100, too.

Hey! I have VirginMobile, so I could switch over to that phone. ::is tempted::

Yeah, I had a cheapo VirginMobile phone, and the battery was on its last legs. I was gonna buy a new $50 phone, but then I saw this one was only $50 more....

You know what's holding me back? I have the Snapper, and it's just the right size for a certain zippered compartment in my pocketbook, so I can always lay my hands on it and easily get at it if I'm busy walking around or something. A larger phone would upset the convenience....
