I have an ongoing problem with my iSight and iChat (3.0.1) where I will
be able to video connect with certain people, but not with others who

feet away (max) to hear the alarms and I want something loud that
repeats until I turn it off. Any ideas?
Thanks!!

on a PC but I'm not sure).  Pagemaker 6 runs in Classic mode under OS

This is a fairly new problem for me with iTunes 6. Previously I was
able to burn CDs from playlists with no problem.
I select a Playlist, click the Burn Disc button, am instructed to

Apparently, there are a number of scripting languages that have been
made substitutable for AppleScript.  Two that come to mind are java and
python.  However, that is just two more languages I do not know and
don't have the time to learn right now.  What I do know is awk.

I've had issues in the past using Windows XP/2000 FTP servers on my old
Performa that I did not when I used a FTP unix server.
