iTunes copying songs twice.

I imported my songs awhile ago from a pc to my new mac. However, I just realized that I could potentially save a lot of space:

I have seemingly all of my music in my /music folder -- in addition to that, I seem to have all my music in /music/itunes/itunes music/ folder, except its divided by albums. If I deleted ALL of the music in just my /music folder, would that effect anything my music collection/itunes? Or does my mac somehow require them to be in both places?

Thanks!

Mac Typing Tutor

I think it is time I finally taught myself to touch-type and I think the best way is going to be one of those typing tutor programmes. I haven't looked at these for smething like 15 years.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
