The ridiculous

I didn't want to sully the earlier post with trivial crap. It's not often that I turn introspective and I thought it deserved its own post. So, a couple little things:

1.) How does one make an MP3 from a song on a CD? Is there freeware I can download someplace?

2.) When and why did Gmail change the way it formats replies? Yesterday my replies were formatted the way I like, with sideways carrots preceeding the text being replied to. Like this:

This morning, not so. Now I have these annoying lines, like you get in MS word Track Changes Format, that run perpendicular to the text. I don't like it. Not at all. How do I change it back?

3.) I have to go to Target, World Market, Tuesday Morning, and Hobby Lobby today right after work. Bah. I'm tired of spending money. At this point, retail therapy is helping me just about as much as a punch in the head.

In Gmail , after you click "reply" there should be the textarea box which contains the other person message and where you type your reply into. Above that box are all the rich text formatting options (bold, underline, center, etc) and to the right of that should be a link "Plain text". Clicking that link will put the carrots back for you.

But, I don't seem to see a option to always use plain text in replies.

Hope this helps.

Ding!!!! That did it. Thanks, hon. It annoys me to no end when people decide to change the defaults of a program for me. Grrrr. I don't know how to make that the default again, but this is better than dealing with the other format.
