"I don't understand any of this" (this title is for you, Morgan)

I was informed this summer by Sheridan that I would be required to purchase or rent a laptop in order to accommodate my post graduate program. Fair enough, I scrounged up enough credit card space to make such a purchase and was met with the set back of finding after my many years as a PC user, that the only available option for me to purchase was a Mac Book. I'm not complaining about the lap top itself, it's pretty and fast and is indeed very convenient to have and I'm sure will prove most valuable. However, the transition from a PC to a Mac has been a most infuriating one for me. Certain programs must have the Mac



version downloaded and its harder to pirate software (not that I do that, because I definitely do NOT) from online sites when they only have the Windows versions available (as was the case of Mac Office that I'm hoping when I attempt to install it later today, Joel will have saved me from further searching for). I'm adjusting quite nicely now but the only problem I cannot seem to master is the downloading/viewing of Bit Torrents. I have downloaded the Mac version of Azureus at Calan's suggestion and can download the desired items at choice, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to view them. DivX and Quicktime both will not play them and I tried downloading an application that was supposed to help make them seen called VLC but sadly more of the same. So I ask those of you with any sort of computer geek knowledge, if they know how I may solve this problem, PLEASE GOD GIVE ME THE ANSWER! (Billy Madison)

On a side note, in response to Will's blog and his ridicule of Incubus I say this. Among his listed musical choices is DMX and Mudvayne. I feel these two bands speak for themselves in terms of his musical choices. Perhaps the Fresh Prince should have stayed in West Philadelphia with his music (although I use the term lightly). The tables have turned again Will! :)
