sweet dreams ED

looking like this is the one...

Yeah that looks fine. Consider getting an external hard drive rated at 7200rpm for faster data transfer to external burner...

I will.
Thank you so much, ED.
I was hoping you'd be on this morning.

always glad to be of help

BEEEAAAAK!!!

So you went ahead and got the iBook? Hrm. I really wish I'd gotten to this earlier... I would've suggested the Panasonic ToughBook. Yes, it's more expensive, but the positives far outweigh the negatives, IMHO.

First of all, it IS tough as nails and it can take a beating like you wouldn't believe. It was almost specifically designed to do just that- endure all kinds of abuse. I'm sure it's nifty that an iBook can withstand a coffee spill or two once in a blue moon, but how do you think it'd fare if it slid off a desk or tabletop when the ship pitches port or starboard? iBooks aren't designed with a highly durable chassis- and certainly don't sport metal braces on all 4 corners.

Then there's the lid of a ToughBook, which is detachable. Apple's laptops, of late, have been getting some markedly low marks for their laptop screens, which tend to fizzle out more often than not. With a ToughBook screen, you can physically remove it from the laptop and still use it to show off images and, with some models, have the benefit of touch-screen technology.

So, yeah, it's gonna cost more, but I think the price will be worth it if you expect to be putting it through some serious paces- trains, cars, planes and boats all have their hazards and if you are using a machine which can withstand those hazards, you're far better off.

Besides... wouldn't it be cool as hell to use our laptop's screen as a stand-alone display for your work?

As for being able to burn 500 CD's in relatively short shrift... I highly suggest you look into purchasing a 10-bay CD burner. They, too, go at a pretty steep price, but they make VERY short work of multi-batch CD burning. I've seen one churn out 1,000 high-quality CD's in a matter of hours.

Crap, looks like my replacement video card is melting down like the last one, and I think I'm at the end of the warranty. May have to disappear from the board for a spell but I'll find my way back eventually.

Although my moniter freaked out this am, I've replaced with a bigger one, provided by my sister, months ago.

BUT MY QUESTION IS: What have I done to unenable me to click on my email to open? I think it might have to do with Scripts/No Scripts. Think of me as Bambie in cyperspace, ok? I think I enabled something for protection, and now am floundering. If I could find a way to throw the whole thing off my computer, I would. Windows 98, Mozilla/Foxfire. What else is needed to stop this inablity?

Describe how it worked when you were happy with its function and what it is doing now....

I log on to the web, seek hotmail.com to log onto there, I log in, get to the inbox, see something I want to open, place arrow on it, click and NOTHING HAPPENS. I cannot instigate any opening of my email. Can you help? I really think my diddling with some form of "scripts" has fucked me, big time, over here.

When I clicked on an email message before, it finally opened. They do not, now.

I don't use hotmail so I am not very familiar with it. You can however check to see if you have disabled scripts, or disabled java, in your browser by going into the preferences, and looking at the security settings. Somewhere in there is bound to be check boxes for accepting scripts and java, try changing those (don't touch anything else! if you feel like you did, don't panic, just hit cancel until you have completely exited, and try again).

ED, I am trying to find preferences...give me a moment, and thank you. My computer is probably inhabited by the Feds. Feel free to peel me off for survival. Still, trying to work this email out.
Uh oh, by the way, I don't know any of you.
