ION, does anyone know if there's a PPC-supported version of Chrome for OSX yet?

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.

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?

Everything is in black and white and gray -- icons, desk top, the Start button, all the icon son the tray at the bottom.

If I move something like Firefox over so it's in black and white on the laptop and in color on the lcd.

Actually right now I9 have skype open and it's all gray scale on the laptop, I have Firefox open on the lcd and it's in color. If I move switch them around, then Skype would be in color and Firefox in black and white.
