	I got a new hard drive installed on my macbook and the damn Apple people didn't reinstall photobooth and now I am a sad panda. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Boo. knows nothing about macs Is that something you can install yourself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know almost nothing about macs G Dunno. I am told that I might be able to find it on my OSX disc. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you know how to spot the separate installer packages while poking around the disc? If you can find the right one, that should do it. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be much help. I've only had to do something like that once before, ages ago, and my Tiger disc is now 1,500 miles away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll be trying that a bit later (right now -- LOST!) I'm also having security certificate issues -- safari won't access gmail, flickr, etc., Adium refuses to connect to GoogleTalk, Entourage is cranky, etc. etc. etc. Trying to troubleshoot now... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Security certificates .... hmmmm. The first thing I can think of is to make sure Date & Time is set correctly in the System Preferences. But you're probably way ahead of me on that. Otherwise ... shrugs helplessly (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah. I mean, firefox works and Entourage is... working, just being cranky. I've got all my software back no problem (found my OS discs), but this... meh. It can wait until Tuesday and I'll just take it back to the store and make them fix it (which is the next time I'm going anywhere near that mall... I am NOT going out of my way this time.)

Wow. This off-topic entry has been hijacked liek woah XD

	I'm never sure if being off-topic in Off Topic Cafe is really ON-topic, and therefore doesn't belong here, or something. It's enough to give Epimenides a headache. "This sentence is false." :-p (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	this is not a comment subject line greenwitch 2008-03-21 04:52 am UTC (link)
	Well, this is fake_news, not off_topic_cafe XD Though that is that disclaimer on this entry... hmmmmmmm... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Try as I might, I just can't think of anything remotely funny, or even marginally interesting to say to that. I think it's past my bedtime. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	::Waves like a maniac:: For all of you who are hanging out on IJ today, I'm taking prompts over at my journal in any fandom I write in (including TDS/TCR). (There's actually a TDS/TCR ficlet over there now). (Reply to this) (Thread)
