And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I wouldn't bank over an iPhone, but I have no idea how rooted in reality that paranoia is.

ION, does anyone know if there's a PPC-supported version of Chrome for OSX yet? Crossover Chromium is Intel-only and Google's still dragging their heels.

Lori, I know how to transfer music from an iPod to a Windows computer, but not for a Mac. this page suggests from free software: [link]

I doubt there ever will be. It would have to have a PPC version of their V8 JavaScript engine. Right now it only supports Intel and ARM.

Theo - thanks!

Now I'm in search of a freeware app that will let me pull some photos off my ipod. I haven't yet resorted to paying for an app that will do that, but might eventually.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Lori, did you search at Versiontracker.com? Links to and user reviews of all kinds of software/freeware/shareware, etc. for the Mac (and, IIRC, other systems): [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

There are a few suggestions in this thread: [link]

Thrive to spite them

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Vista, it's over a year old.

I turned it on this afternoon and it was fine, then I went to click on something and download something and the screen sort of winked and then everything was black and white. All of it. I restarted and the same thing.

I have a LCD monitor hooked up and the color is fine there. But there's no color (just black and white and shades of gray) on the screen of the laptop.

Any suggestions ? Is this bad?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Are you getting your regular desktop? Is everything working, just the graphics are in grayscale?
