Roger that.  It's fixed now.  Don't know what happened as the preview worked fine?  It's fixed now... i hope.  :-[

Stoic Joker:
I believe that is an arguement that reality proves again and again to be false. Artists will always create, it's what they do. If you need convincing just look to opensource software.

What the world no longer needs is the leeches like the music industry which produce nothing themselves, but simply 'manage' the artists works.

Agreed - People who like to create do so for the shear joy of it.  It's the ones that like to create things to sell that are producing the rush to market crapware that we all abhor.

urlwolf:
side-stepping media formats.

I'm right now caught in a vendor-lock-in with the oneNote format.
I have moved to linux permanently, but I cannot take my oneNote notebooks (2 years collecting infromation) with me.

If anyone had that problem before and solved it, please speak up :).

I may have to keep onenote around in a virtual machine. that's kind of silly :)

f0dder:
s/Virtual Machine/WHINE.

Lashiec:
urlwolf, can't you export the information in oneNote to another format and import into the Linux note taker you're using?
