Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Gah! The stupid, it burns!

If it's any consolation, my teachers in Digital Design would all disapprove of their approach.

Web developers and designers have lovely big screens to work on, and that can lead to thinking that is the way that all pages will be viewed. I've seen the same mode of thinking affect application developers -- a coworker I just couldn't get it across that most of our users were going to see these screens on a dinky laptop screen and that he should never plan on their windows being more than 800px across!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Does anybody have the Cascade Script font? I don't have $29 to buy it for about six small headlines on a website. I promise to burn it after using....

Ooooh! That's damn close, isn't it?

If it accidentally happened to fall into an email you sent to me, I wouldn't complain....

I just thought that this gang would appreciate that I'm posting this from an old Win98 machine that I discovered while fixing up a few of my old audio rental machines to prep the to sell off. We even got this machine to recognize 512 MB of RAM. Who know Win98 would even see that much. Even more amazing, it had an old version of ProTools on it, so I was just running ProTools 5 on Windows 98. Yikes!

What's the difference between an Airport Extreme & external Hard Drive vs Time Capsule, aside from the all-in-one factor? It seems that internal hard drive feature comes at a pretty steep cost.

(yes, I'm thinking about buying stuff that I shouldn't)

The Extreme plus HD setup has a bad history of not playing well with Time Machine. It may be working now but it worked in an unsupported setup then they stopped it from working and after that I gave up on it. The drives connected to my Airport are just network storage now and not used for Time Machine.
