I have received word that Archipelago does not have the ability to specify categories for Radio Userland posts. 8:27:28 PM

I have encountered what I believe is a rather odd limitation in OS X. Apparently file names can only be 31 characters long. I discovered this when I tried to save a Word document yesterday with the name "Prayers of the Faithful March 9 2003" (without the quotes). OS X didn't like that and suggested "Prayers of the Faithful Ma" as the file name, which was uselss to me. I find irony in this because Macs were the first personal computers to allow long (greater than 8 characters) file names. Now Windows allows long file names, which I believe can up to 256 characters. At least, I have never encountered a situation in Windows where I attempted to create too long of a file name. 3:34:16 PM
