Thanks wiz.Mordread, individual trckas repeat 99 times. I'm afraid the level of AS required for just a play all mode is at least for now out of my league and frankly, a bad design choice.

I've been looking for a way to programmatically list the system dsn's on a machine. I know they're stored in the registry and are available to some api somewhere. I've seen proprietary dll's that can do this.

OK, me again. 1/3 of the time mac user.
Mac question.
When writing in a text box (i'm using firefox) there doesn't seem to be a way to get to the beginning of a line of text other than using the mouse or cursor keys.
For instance, on a dorky PC, I can hit the HOME button and it will pop my cursor to the far left of whatever line I am on. On a Mac, it does nothing. Is there a combination I am missing? CTRL + HOME? Funny Apple Key + HOME? Tilde + HOME?
Is there another way around this?

HI Tim,
I am dating a guy...only he has AOL and likes to use emoticons in his e-mail messages. He didn't even know that he could check his e-mail from any internets-connected computer. Should I even bother?

Is it me, or does my Mac sometimes forget how to cut and paste? It's very odd. I copy copy copy and then I go to paste, and nothing. Cut cut cut... paste. nothing.

How did I get railroaded out of position as lead detective in charge of technical question answering? Sure, it's been over a year since I answered a question. A call would have been nice. Tamara got let down nice and easy in a public setting - fountain, latex gloves, the whole nine yards. For God's sake, at least cross out my name to signify the bittersweet end has come to take me away.

I'm planning on buying a new HD television. Maybe 20-something or 30-something inchs, but now Sharp has one that's like six feet wide! I was going to get surround sound speakers and wire the TV through my receiver, but the process gets more and more complicated the more I delve into it. Do you have any suggestions as to how to proceed? Should I just get the six-feet long TV and call it a day?

Why does Lotus Notes stink?

Hey Tim, I had a friend who (at work) would "password protect" certain Word documents (usually copy/pasted fiction from the New Yorker). How does one do this? Also I need to know how to make my laptop more secure. One of my coworkers used my laptop at work and just felt like reading my e-mail. Nosy bitch.
