My first thought was to go with an iPod mini, and just be sure to convert the pages to Notes format before sending it to her.
The more I think about that though, you'd be better to send her something cheap that can read compact flash, then just mail exchange the compact flash...
Then PDA's come to mind.:\
Why not find a really old laptop with PCMCIA, load a minimal linux with a reader? That way if it were to be stolen, no big loss?
Now people can be caught cursing at cheaters in public.
What??? You know it's true. If any one of you have played a good game online, you know that eventually they all get overrun with cheats and makes it next to impossible to get a good game in.:(
Which would you prefer to have, full access to all the source and API's so that everyone's on an even playing field, or a scenario where only one group has it, so when group B develops a nasty piece of spyware, group C has to wait for group A to fix it and suffer in the meantime?
No....if everyone has access to the sources, everyone has access.
FreeBSD, Linux, and MacOS X would still be a less vulnerable target. Worst cast scenario, delete ~/.mozilla/firefox (~/Library/Application Data/Firefox), start over.
The reason Windows is such a mess is that there's no 'easy' way to clean up the mess. You could wipe out the user's entire home directory on Windows and still be screwed. On a *nix based system, wiping out the home directory would usually fix you right up.
Since xpi's are blocked by default, they're going to get there how? By a javascript dialogue that says "You must allow this installation to continue."?
...are moths drawn to the flame?...do lemmings jump off of cliffs?...do I answer the support line at work?...did I get married?...do I sit here and refresh slashdot all day?
I suspect, many questions can all be answered the same. >:P
2. IBM Would be the monopoly? 3. Apple would be the monopoly? 4. AT&T would be hte monopoly? 5. Due to 4, Linux might not have existed? Perhaps *BSD would have a larger foothold?
Microsoft bought exclusive rights to use of "Damn Dirty Bastards". This could be a severe blow to (SCO|EA|Canopy Group) as a large deal of their business...
I have this problem with one of my wife's banks too.
Or at least share the ID number. I tried hacking the csv file myself too. Same problem. I got the same line you did from Intuit, that they 'don't support macs'.
You've got to be kidding me.:\
Waaay out of context in fact.

That's poking fun at the movie "Independence Day". The PowerBook that manages to establish an authenticated PPP session, get an IP address, transfer a virus to the alien host (pun intended), then REMOTELY EXECUTE IT.
Okay, yes, I'm a unix admin, mac user, network engineer, and the mere concept has my dying on the floor laughing as I watch the Classic environment do that.
Anyway, point is....I'm betting the author has watched that movie recently.
Linus needs to watch who he associates with.

I've had excellent luck with ClamWin

Wow, it seems I got that very wrong:

Then again he got it wrong too.
Not precisely in line with what you said, but I just got a little bit of a chuckle when I read your post.
...
1995 - Mosaic vs. Netscape
1996 - IE 4 vs. Netscape 4 (Same 2 browsers)
1998 - Netscape's dead, IE rules!
2001 - Mozilla? (I know, it's been around for years)
2002 - Phoenix
2003 - Firebird
2004 - Firefox
2005 - IE 6 vs. Firefox 1.0
I know there are other browsers, but sheesh this has been going on for some time between these two code bases, you know?
Wow, the FUD packers are out in full force today.

No....if everyone has access to the sources, everyone has access.
Two thoughts:
:)
1) I was thinking as a last resort.
2) Have you ever tried to kill a pesky mosquito with a flamthrower? You're going to tell me it's not more fun that way?
So far I've seen an XPI that installs and then exploits a vulnerability in IE.
So...basically IE still plagues Firefox users. Granted, with more recent version of Firefox, this is not really an issue.
FUD.
FreeBSD, Linux, and MacOS X would still be a less vulnerable target. Worst cast scenario, delete ~/.mozilla/firefox (~/Library/Application Data/Firefox), start over.

Hmm. That's probably exactly how it'll happen.

Go 2K Games! Woo hoo!
1. It appears to be Natalie Portman Day at Penny Arcade.
2. IBM Would be the monopoly?
3. Apple would be the monopoly?
4. AT&T would be hte monopoly?

...and if he weren't, then those in the majority would be more or less saying the same thing you are, only using less swearwords.
Too many big egos. Not one of us is better than the other. Who is to say you're right, and he is wrong, or the other way around?
Who plays judge?
Yeah, I kept waiting and waiting and waiting for someone to ask for a torrent, and it never came.
:P
Go fig.
Now the readers will never...ah nevermind.
Oh come on Nintendo. You tell us you got real apps...show em! Blur out the personally identifying info and give us the good stuff. ;)
Those environmental terrorists will start kicking in if you try to use warp 9. Gotta be careful and such.
Okay, I see why you'd post anonymously.
:P
Stupidest???
Dumbest, perhaps.
Go back and learn you vocab son. Then come challenge me again.
TWO JOKES!
:P

I should be modded funny. Not interesting, and not troll.
That was supposed to be funny. You're in a vaccuum. I almost mentioned something about Paige Davis and sex tapes, and STAYED ON TOPIC!!!!
Come on mods, live a little.
I don't see any cast.
BTW. The sail emits carbon monoxide to get its speed boost. You know, the stuff the kills humans almost as fast as dihydrogen monoxide.
You really want to be behind that thing for a whole month?
Care to tell me where you got the ID?
:\

Why not divx or xvid, or at least quicktime?
Sheesh. Always with the stupid formats...
