I know... If I'm not there, it's not for a lack of not wanting to be there. Time, I've found, is a finite resource.

Speaking of time, good gravy Flight Memory is tedious. No wonder they offer the import service for a fee. I'm half way through 2006 (my starting point due to only a 3 year lookback on usairways.com) and it has taken me over an hour. Granted, I was flying multiple times many weeks that year. But, ugh.

Regarding calling AmEx, I tried that. Their offers are targeted and expire. I tried to hop on the 100k bonus about 3 months after my offer had expired and they said no bueno.

Last I checked, for personal cards, yes. For Business cards, no.

I too am about to drop the Plat card. It just doesn't buy me much and I've found the Pres Club membership gives me more flexibility than the Amex card.

How do you get 100k MR bonus offers? Do you have to be an AMEX Blue to get these?

*%$@# MS and Bill Gates (I know, he retired but I still blame if for all things wronge with MS products) Ok anyone know if there's s default out of the factory Admin password for Win XP? Would Sony have been evil enough to have set one in the factory on me? You can PM me it if you don't want to blab it all over the place.

Have you tried a blank password? Surprisingly, that is the default on most factory delivered installs. :rolleyes:

Certainly not groundbreaking - you're right. But, that doesn't mean it isn't something that will be nice for Mac users to have.

I agree - the lack of copy/paste functionality is pathetic. At the same time, Apple has put several features in to the iPhone that other manufacturer's devices don't have so it goes both ways.

Oh I agree.

Yep, the Adobe cataloging system I've used for several years has it. It's integrated with Yahoo maps and allows tagging by address or GPS coordinates.

I know, and do the same. I don't even upload half of my photos. I guess I was just so used to having had that functionality for years on my PC through Adobe that I was surprised to hear Apple's just now adding it to iPhoto.

I tried blank. I got "Unable to log you on because of an account restriction"
Entering anything for a password I get the usaual message you get when you miss type a password.

It's been available for quite some time through third party iPhoto plugins. I think Apple dragged their feet on it because they wanted to try and push their own gallery service (MobileMe).
