I completely forgot to record Sean Tan's animation..'The Lost Thing' on ABC1 today. I know I can watch it on iView, but would like a copy myself. Perchance, has anyone on the list recorded it and can make it available to me? TIA Kevin -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List --

Hi Kevin You could grab a copy of iViewFox which will let you download the episode you missed and allow you to keep a copy. It installs as a plugin into Firefox and let you download the file to your Mac. You can then burn it to DVD to keep. Here is the link to software for your Mac

I think further WAMUG discussion would help as both Firefox and iViewfox are works in progress. The add-on does not work precisely as documented, which is disconcerting. It just starts downloading automatically using Terminal, not the iViewfox interface as shown and described. Therefore
