I don't even have the CD's for my OS because I am illegal =P and my uncle did it a few years ago. I could just buy new ones yeh? and I really don't know how to do all that. Argh. And its very time consuming isnt it =(
I always find problems thou. No doubt, me trying to reformat my computer would somehow result with my screen being turned upside down =(

Heh...I prefer a program called 'UltraVNC'...it seems to work better for me than RealVNC did.

That said, if they've gone to the trouble of blocking the IRC port, what's to say they haven't done a global block (except for web traffic)? VNC is a bandwidth hog...

Heh...I prefer a program called 'UltraVNC'...it seems to work better for me than RealVNC did.
I used to use TightVNC, but each to their own, I guess :P
But, that was back when I used Windows. I usually just use SSH now.

iTunes help:
Mao is trying to help me as I speak, but for everyone to see:

I basically don't use podcasts. Someone I know wanted to download one. The first one they downloaded from this site last week worked by dragging something into itunes. The second podcast this week didn't work.
I try right clicking and saving file, all good. I can shove it in iTunes library but it doesnt appear in the podcast menu. I try copying the file to the podcast directory itunes made where the other one lives, and discover that the new one has already been downloaded there (ty apple for wasting my download limit). However, it won't appear in the podcast menu!
I personally don't care too much as it's in the library and still works, but she wants it in the podcast menu

Help, thanks =D
