Imagine, if you will, a scenario not too far from any of us... Your mother in law calls. (Hereafter, MIL) She just bought a G5 and had your cousin set it up for her. And they�ve discovered iMovie. Without saying another word, you finally realize where you left that digicam last Christmas. No, you won�t tell your wife because you don�t want to be punished twice for the same crime. But as dumb luck would have it, you get spanked again anyway.
How�s that, you say? The MIL has been filming Fifi chowing down in the nitty-gritty kitty litter box again. You remember Fifi, don�t you? That�s the little smelly French thing your lovely wife grew up with. And wouldn�t the Mrs. just love to see Fifi being naughty? Of course she would! So the old one decides to e-mail your family the 50 meg movie using her cable modem. No biggie, right? Well, it would be no biggie if you had DSL or a cable modem, but NO, you have a 56k modem and the nearest junction box is FIVE MILES AWAY making your fastest download speed a whopping 33.6k. You try to convince the MIL and your wife to have the movie burned to a CD and mailed to your home. Sanity would then prevail, right? Wrong. Wifey wants the movie, and she wants it NOW. You know your ISP blocks e-mails with attachments over 5 meg. You also know that the MIL has a really cheesy personal web site on mac.com. So you tell the MIL to post accordingly and you�ll get busy with that download. You frantically search the web for a downloader program and your heart stops. There is a really cool downloader on Sourceforge called Downloader for X (dforx). You look for the OS X port and (gasp!) there is none. Considering all the other options, you finally resign yourself to the knowledge that you�ll be sleeping on the couch again tonight. But this scenario doesn�t have to be! Please port dforx and spare men around the world from senseless grief! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
