[DM-MUG] Help, quick, plz? IDVD, need burn

[D Reger]

Thanks to John Robertson and Alan Maupin for the prompt rescues on your 
busy weekend. I love creating things, but I am soooo not technically 
talented, and I discovered at the last minute my iMac doesn't burn DVDs. 
I am way out in the boonies of north central Misssouri, an hour away 
from even a Walmart (Kirksville, Chillicothe). Six hour round trip to 
Jordan Creek.

Alan suggested getting an iPod and tv adapter. I had been lusting after 
iPod. Walmart has tthem. What a great excuse to give in to temptation. 
It works, the presentation, I mean. Temptation, too, it would seem.

Alan, John, and anyone else who would like to see a very beginnerish 17 
+/- minute rockhound-geek, Tucson trip, How-These-Guys- Make-Jewelry 
movie, please come as my guest to a meeting of

the DES MOINES LAPIDARY SOCIETY
2608 24th St, (50310)
Meetings: 1st Saturday, 7:30 pm (Sept,-June)
2608 24th St.

That's 7:30 tonight (Sat.).
