iPhone question. E-mail app. Right now I have just my .mac account on it. I've been thinking about adding my work Exchange account. But I don't want to have a merged inbox. I like to keep them separate, but would like to be able to access work e-mail from my hip when I can't get to the laptop. So, how does the phone deal with multiple e-mail accounts?
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

I miss being able to fax. But with only mobile phones there's no line to plug in, which we had with Vonage.
you can always get an efax account. If you have a scanner, you're golden.
So, how does the phone deal with multiple e-mail accounts?
very easily. The only place it's combined is on the notification on the home screen. the little number next to the email icon tells you how many messages you have in total.

maxemail is also good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just checked my email from my phone and printed it to my new printer. God, I love technology.

Is there a way to force-eject a DVD that's in use from OSX (Leopard)?
The shitty DVD software on the office workstation burned some corrupt files onto a DVD data disc I was using to transfer said files to my Mac, and now I can't get the disc out. The "stop copying" button in the dialog box isn't responding.
(The original files are fine and I was able to transfer them using a USB key instead, but I'd really like to use my DVD drive and I can't restart for another hour because I'm uploading in another window.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I don't have a Mac in front of me at the moment, but can't you do that from the Disk Utilities (is that what it's called?) program?
I suppose it's possible the copy program is still open and has a lock on a file. You might need to kill that process to remove the lock? Or just force-quit Finder?
Or maybe wait until someone who knows more about Macs to show up?

Jessica,
if it isn't ejecting, you might try shutting down the computer and see if you can eject normally after restart.

What Tommyrot said - I'm wondering if there's an option that doesn't include restarting so I don't have to interrupt my upload (which still has another 45 minutes to go).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
If you go to Force Quit → Finder → Relaunch, it would probably free up the DVD drive, but I would advise against doing that since it could interfere with the upload in your other window.
