    Feel free to contact me, I can be found at my first name, Erin, at thedalzells.org.

  3. Re:Maybe just switch providers... on Recommendations for Cellular Signal Repeaters? · · Score: 1

    In the US, sure. But in other countries, like Canada, you cannot. Which is why I am interested in cellular repeaters as well.

    Boy, you're right, that was hard

  6. WFM on Do PS2-to-USB Keyboard Adapters Work? · · Score: 1

    I have a Microsoft keyboard and a PS/2 to USB adapter (don't know what kind..can't tell). It works fine on my XP box except that after I plug in my mini-usb hub, I have to unplug then re-plug the adapter. Otherwise the keyboard isn't recognized.

  7. pMachine... on Best Weblogs for Personal Websites? · · Score: 2, Informative

    ...is a great simple and free blogging tool. Requires PHP, MySQL and Apache. Supported on Windows, Mac and un*x. Great community support and many hacks and plugins.

    Give it a try

  8. Re:I haven't tried it yet, either on New Napster Off To A Solid Start · · Score: 1

    Yes there is, check out http://www.puretracks.com.

  9. Re:How about.. on MSN Planning to Take on Google? · · Score: 1

    I don't really buy that. If I have a cut, I go put on a band-aid. But do I put on a Band-Aid(tm)? Not necessarily. Similarly with Kleenex.

    Just because someone *says* they are going to "google" it, doesn't mean they *actually* use the google.com website. It could just be a verb meaning, to search on the internet

  10. Re:sky.isFalling() = True on Verizon Loses Suit Over Subpoena of Subscriber Info · · Score: 1

    My guess would be this one

  11. Re:Lack of Recent Good Ideas on 85 Big Ideas that Changed the World · · Score: 1

  12. Re:Does it fix the Mail attachments issue? on Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.2.3 · · Score: 1

    I think Mail should offer you the option of how you want your attachments encoded. Outlook Express does. Can't be that hard.

  13. Does it fix the Mail attachments issue? on Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.2.3 · · Score: 1

    Does it fix the mail attachment issue? If not, I may have to switch mail clients!

  14. Existing packages on Fink 0.5.0a Released for Jaguar · · Score: 1

    Any way to convince fink that I have mysql installed already? I install mysql as a seperate package outside of fink.

  15. Re:Not that expensive...at first... on The Ulltimate DVD Burner? · · Score: 1

    Ahhh iDVD. Go Apple!

  16. Re:About time, too on Greenbacks No More · · Score: 1

    I found this quite amusing as the English don't want to give up their beloved Pound for the Euro!! ;=)

    I too travel often to the States and I have difficulty with the money. Before I hear another round of "Can't you read the numbers?", let me say that I CAN read the numbers, but having all the money be the same colour (notice my Canadian spelling?) makes it difficult for QUICK recognition.

  17. Re:I could find the info...why couldn't Katz on Disconnecting · · Score: 1

    And AOL. www.aol.com. Click Help. Click AOL Phone numbers. This page lists a number for cancellation.

    2 clicks and about 15 seconds! Me thinks Jon is being difficult!

  18. I could find the info...why couldn't Katz on Disconnecting · · Score: 1

    Let's see...www.earthlink.com. Click on Customer Support. Click on Account Maintenance. Click on "How to cancel your Earthlink account". The following page give several phone numbers. Doesn't seem that tough to me!

  20. Re:The part that bugs me on Is CD Copy Protection Illegal? · · Score: 1

    Whoops, should have done a little research.

    I guess they *are* music CDs! I don't know if I have seen non-music CD-Rs in a while then.

  21. Re:The part that bugs me on Is CD Copy Protection Illegal? · · Score: 1

    In Canada I just bought Memorex CD-R. No special markings...in fact they were dirt cheap and didn't work too well!

    They had the tax on them! When you buy 50 CD-Rs at once, it does begin to add up!!

    And no, I was not putting music onto them.

  22. Re:the specs are already publicly available, fool on States Filing Alternate Remedy Proposal for MS Anti-Trust Case · · Score: 1

    They are not there anymore. They used to be. If they still are there (I haven't looked recently), they are horrendously incomplete. I have reverse-engineered MS fileformats. The published spec is incomplete and in some cases quite wrong!

  23. Re:Apple, please fix widgets in Classic environmen on MacOS X DP3 · · Score: 2

    As far as I know, IE does *not* use Aqua natively. MS has produced their own Aqua-ish IE.

    Or have I misunderstood you?
