Re: Excel CSV file not actually comma separated? - Today

If you want your column as a row, just copy the column, then past special and choose, I want to say Transpose. But I'm not looking at Excel right now. THEN save as a CSV and you'd get a comma-separated text row.

QuoteTiangou Quotecbelt3 A pity that the star’s issues imploded on him, and took the rest of the show down. Huh? Are you thinking of movie-Flash? What's wrong with Grant Gustin? I think you're right. He's confusing Gustin with Ezra Miller. From what I've read, Gustin is pretty much as golly gee whiz good guy as you can get.

Powerpoint annoyance - 12 days ago

Among the abundance of annoyances in Powerpoint, one thing that bugs me to no end is pasting text. Every. Single. Time. I paste text from somewhere. THEN, I have to click that stupid little box and tell it to Keep Text Only. Is there just a way to make Keep Text Only the default? Or maybe a special command combo that can just Paste and Keep Text Only?

As I said above, the mail resides on a Hotmail server and I use Apple mail app to retrieve it.

Bought a fridge - 16 days ago

What with all the appliance talk on here, I thought I'd chime in with my own piece. The wife and I decided to be proactive and order a fridge before ours dies. Will be here by the end of August. Ended up going with GE. Nothing fancy. Opted for counter depth as we thought it would be better in our kitchen. Then after measuring our current fridge, realized it was already counter depth. Doh!

Re: Drobo Files for Chapter 11 - 4 weeks ago

I have a Drobo and when it works it's great. But the problem arises when I have to reboot the Mac it's connected to. Then it's a long-involved dance of restarting, turning off, and back on various things to get the @#$%& thing to show back up on the desktop. I'd REALLY love to move away from it but I don't want a NAS. I just want a solid external RAID that I can plug into my mini. Mini plus DAS =

We attempted to deliver your package at 6:37 pm on June 19, 2022 but could not access the delivery location. We will redeliver on the next business day. Just checked the tape. A vehicle didn't even drive by my house for the hour or so AROUND that time.

Re: looking for a job title - 8 weeks ago

Quotedatbeme Congrats. Sadly, we are the wrong audience for your inquiry. Thanks. It's a weird role. I get the references to IT and CTO and such. But in this case, IT would be more of a tool in this user's toolbox. IT tends to be more...practical. As in, it works! Project done! We need to incorporate a bit more creativity in the process.
