You can never actually look each other eye-to-eye, since you must look away from the monitor to look at the camera to be perceived by the other guy as looking at him as he viewing his monitor, but he looks at his camera so you can see him as he....but you're...then he....
AAAAHHHRRRGGGG!
So, when will we get a camera invisibly embedded into the monitor?
A marriage, with or without a wedding, is a commitment between two individuals (and i'm not even going to address the presuppositions of what kind of induhvijuls) to live together in love, fidelity, and mutual support.
Presumably, your metaphor was along the lines of "Ergo, if I didn't have a wedding, am I still married?"
IANAL: In oklahoma, if you have lived together for six months (and x+y other conditions have been met or have occured), Yes
TNR is still a bad font for OCR. Serifs are the greatest obstacle to clean OCR reads, especially when the letters run together, as they tend to do in only one generation of photocopying.
At 14 point, however, hoepfully it won't be a problem.
If OCR were a consideration, they should have picked Arial, or some other sans-serif font. (I would recommend Helvetica, but it's not included on the default windows install.)
Every wise Oklahoman has an emeregency back-up TV in their basement or other spider-hole. Ususally a B&W 5" -- battery powered is a must. How else will we know when Gary, Mike or Rick says we can come out? (I'm not comin' out 'till after Gary does!)
But backup-cable TV? Forget it; an piss-ant F2 tornado will take out your cable for a week! If your roof holds, your dish prolly will too.

The problem for me was not one of grip -- it was one of feedback. You note that:
[N.B.: Apple included "dimples" on the sides of the mouse as tactile feedback for this, as well.]
I guess I never found those dimples. But the mouse didn't stay oriented to one direction. So I think I'm pushing the mouse up, and my pointer goes zooming off to the left. I always had to look away from the screen, locate the mouse cord, and re-orient it to forward. I still hate those things, though I know great users who still won't use anything else.
Wacom for me, brother. Use the pen in photoshop, the wireless mouse on everything else, and just keep the tablet glued to the desktop.
The Ministry of Truth -- Minitrue, in Newspeak -- was startlingly different from any other object in sight. It was an enormous pyramidal structure of glittering white concrete, soaring up, terrace after terrace, 300 metres into the air. From where Winston stood it was just possible to read, picked out on its white face in elegant lettering, the three slogans of the Party:
Please do not continue confusing iTunes, a marvelous multiplatform, multiformat audio jukebox program available free from Apple since 2001, with the iTunes Music Store (acceptably abbreviated to iTMS), an online music purchase and delivery system.
That communicates about as effectively as if you confused "Cadillac" with "Onstar," as in "My Cadillac told me where the nearest Chinese restaurant is."
iTunes is quite capable of playing the industry standard AAC format, as well as MP3, AIFF, WAV, raw CD and other formats.
Perhaps we could eliminate deaths by these illnesses; certainly we can reduce them.
But we each owe one death, and that's one system we're not going to cheat.
So we continue to fund research in modern disease elimination. We learn to anticipate and counteract the heart attack. We eliminate cancer and AIDS altogether.
So our collective life span increases. As fewer people die of natural causes, inversely, more people will die of unnatural causes: Traffic accidents, suicide, terror attacks.
Am I arguing against medical research? Certainly not. When I or my wife get cancer, I want to be healed. I don't want to die. Not yet. But whether I want to or not, I will.
(What is my point? I have no point. Old men never have a point. There's no point.)
You will die my, friend. So between now and then, do you want to focus all your energy, money and resources on not dying?
Or would you rather spend some energy, money and resources living?
Itunes HAS to write to the "my documents" directory - this is annoying - i can't specify another location.
You can specify any browsable location you like.

(On the Mac) I set permissions wide open on my main user's (me) music folder. Then I set all the other users' (my daughters) iTunes folder to my folder. Voila! We all have access to all our music. IF they rip it, download it or buy it, I've got it -- without having to duplicate drive space consumption for everyone to have Led Zeppelin. (Course then I get to wade through all their Ani and Shania, but likewise they have to put up with my ELP and Tchaikovsky.)
The whole experience left me wanting to sing the chorus of "Alice's Restaurant" on the way out (and see if I couldn't coax it out of some of the others).
Well, I see I posted the quote to early, so, please pardon the reduncancy:
I walked, said, "Shrink...
"I wanna Kill!
"I Wanna Kill!!
"I Wanna KILL!
"Eat dead, burnt bodies.
"I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth.
"I WANNA KILL"
And I started jumpin' up and down, yellin' "KILL! KILL"
An' he was jumpin up and down with me, an' we was both jumpin' up and down, yellin', "Kill, KILL...!"
And the Sergeant came over, said "That's our boy," pinned a medal on me an' sent me on down the hall.

Can you "Mitusbishi Zero"?
Care to explain exactly how this is offtopic? The topic references AIM, the poster asks about AIM, on his platform of choice.
And, I was interested to learn that AOL even had an AIM client.
Mods, carry on. On-topic, and interesting!

Yes fan?

But no letters with serifs (feet), please!
They're thinking about what's available in a default windows install.
:-(
That's the same reason I had to eliminate garamond from the eforms program of the fortune 500 oil company I design for.
Also killed anything I do in Times (NOT TNR) or Helvetica.
The unfortunate thing about standards is they must be lowest common denominator, or the rank and file can't acheive them.
Or you have to pay per seat licensing to populate everydesk with the Adobe font collection.
Why, oh why did Apple bother to invent TrueType

?You mean, something like:
"Wait...How do I...Oh, I see...What did...I can just...Hold on.
"Now why did that happen?"
And they really expect an answer!

With the new schedule, he caught pneumonia and promptly died.

No, no, that's not right.
Descartes was sitting in his favorite resaurant, reading and sipping coffee. The waitress came by and asked if he would like a refill.
Rene replied, "I think not" and simply dissappeared.
