Uh. How do I open and extract spanned zip archives? I've been Googling but not getting much joy.

I need a new laptop case for my 13" MacBook. Am thinking of getting a backpack (one specifically designed for a laptop). Any recommendations?

Not for a backpack (though I have a great shoulder bag from Target that I'd recommend for girls...I can't find it online, but they just restocked in the store, it's brown and has a turqoise interior and a great padded zippy pocket in the middle for a laptop...)

It's not a bag, but I do recommend the RadTech sleevey things--I had one for my old powerbook, and ordered one for my new macbook--it's nice for not taking up any extra room, but protecting from scratches and stuff.

I think 7-Zip can handle spanned zip.

From what I heard, 7-zip is pretty awesome about handling almost every kind of archive.

re: laptop backpacks, Lifehacker has a nice post with a number of links on the subject here, [link]

Hmph. I can't figure out why my new laptop Eowyn can't see Rosie, but Rosie can see Eowyn. Everything was working so smoothly with my setup that I am miffed that there is the slightest bit of trouble.

Also, it has occurred to me only now that if I am using Frodo's network card for Eowyn to get online, then I can't transfer files from Frodo to Eowyn. I have to transfer them from Frodo to Rosie and then from Rosie to Eowyn. Harumph.

Kubuntu is just ubuntu for the KDE environment, right?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

SA, yep.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, there. Now Eowyn & Rosie can both see each other. We'll have to see what happens with Estel gets home.

In fact, if you have Ubuntu installed you can just do "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" and now you have Kubuntu.
