May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

How can I change the destination folder of the Movies icon in Leopard's finder?

(When I migrated everything to this computer, I left Movies behind because I was short on disc space. Now I have all that media on an external drive, but I can't figure out how to tell the computer that. When I click on that icon, it tells me it can't find the volume Movies.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, W3Schools also has a decent CSS reference.

A cool example of steganography.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

My 80 year old mom is still quite active and travels a lot. She'd really like a portable GPS that she could use in her own car but also transfer to rentals. Anyone have suggestions? Keep in mind that she's 80.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I tried my Mom on a TomTom which would announce next turns and street names, but she found it way too confusing and nervous-making. Yes, she was afraid of upsetting the voice....

Your Mom May Vary.

TomTom has a feature where you can download alternate voices from their website. Maybe she just needed someone a little more understanding?
