Away in Michigan, missing tabbed browsing and absolutely frustrated with the glacial loadings of Internet Explorer on my mom's cast-off old PowerBook, I decided to start using Camino, which had been installed but largely left fallow, instead. It's like Firefox for Macs! Except that I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to set Camino so that my home page brings up multiple tabs. Anyone out there have any idea?

Also, while I'm obsequing, [livejournal.com profile] lynnmonster? I finally watched Full Metal Alchemist on Saturday like you asked all that time ago, and I'm afraid I might have been hooked, though lost. Any chance you could whip up some VCDs?

WOOHOO! Looks like I'm not a terrible pimp, after all.

*beams proudly*

I don't have all the episodes, but I can send you the first batch via snail mail (as mpegs on a CD-ROM) if you email me your address; alternatively, I could dropload or yousendit a few to you, to see if that works.

Let me know what you prefer!

Well, I see the following advantages in snail-mail:
  • I'm not home right now
  • If they work anything like The OC, I can watch them comfortably on my TV
  • When I'm done with them, I can forward them on to [livejournal.com profile] rahael
What constitutes the first batch?

*scratches head*

Well, I can't find the first 8 eps, so I'm re-downloading. But I've got 9 through...something...ready to go right away. If you've got an alternative source for the first 8 -- thanks, [livejournal.com profile] boniblithe! -- then I'll send a batch starting with 9 in the next day or two. Is that good?

(P.S. -- What I've got are the fansubs, not dubs like on TV. I actually like the voices better, and I'm sure you won't have any problem reading along...)

If she can't hook you up with FMA, I can :)

I thought you might be able to, but I didn't want to be presumptuous!

I will be in touch . . . bwahaHAha!

Firefox? I use Firefox on a mac.

Yeah, in Googling around trying to figure out how to solve my own problems, I learned that while Camino may be like "Firefox for Macs," Firefox is Firefox for Macs. So I feel a little hasty.

However, while I love me some Firefox (now that I've just installed AdBlock and learned that I can single-handedly cause the demise of the free internet experience), I didn't want to install any new programs on my mother's computer if I didn't have to. And Camino is pretty firefoxy in its own right.
