3 in 1 bonus for advice givers! :D
ok i hav 3 questions,
1. i'm doin this english project and i need to create a dual timeline. wat exactly is that? my teacher said its like a spilt timeline where on one side theres a timeline about the author's life thats being compared to the other timeline about the outside world. i don't really 100% understand that. does anyone hav an example of one? i understand things way more better when im given an example of it.
2. to me this might be a bit random but, i noticed that my computer doesnt hav one of those floppy disk slots and i was wondering if anywhere in the world if there was some sort of device that i can connect to my computer and put a floppy disk inside that device and use it on my computer. my computer is a hp pavilion and just now i noticed somthin else, since it doesnt use floppy disks does that mean it uses some sort of memory card that acts as a floppy disk? cuz i noticed these slots for memory sticks. heh i'm not really good with computers.
3. my final question is there a FREE to use computer program and that i can download for FREE so i can download songs and music videos. something like limewire but is there one where i can download music videos and drag them to itunes and that are able to be played on my ipod? i kno i hav to purchase music videos but there was this one time where i got this video from limewire and som how i got it in my ipod except the problem was no sound was played.

I can answer the first two (I know NOTHING about iPods.)
1) Pretty much, they're trying to get you to understand why that author would have written the way they did. For example, look at movies over the past while. In Bond movies (which were released during the Cold War) the villains were generally Russian/Eastern European. Recently, though, the villians tend to be Asian or Middle Eastern (think about the rise to power of Japan, and the recent terrorism thing). The important part (the part that the person below missed entirely) is that the two are related.
2) You can buy an external floppy drive. The problem is that major companies have pretty much stopped selling floppy disks! Floppies have been made obsolete by the appearance of inexpensive USB thumb drives. You can buy those at any electronics store. They hold a lot more than floppy disks, and they're more durable.

I'm really sorry but i only know the answer to two of them. For number 2, i have the same computer as you do and mine doesnt have a floppy disk slot either. What i found out that works quite well is burning it onto a CD. For number 3, limewire is illegal, so i wouldnt reccomend using it. I use Itunes and songs are only 99 cents a piece so its not that bad really. Hoped i helped!

1. I don't have an example, but I can explain it. Let's say you were doing a timeline about someone born in 2006. Draw a timeline horizontally. Then, on top, make it the person's life. Let's say Marina Smith was born on January 1, 2006. You'd start the timeline then. January 5, 2006, first spit-up. March 29, 2006, first time sleeping through the night. et cetera. On the bottom of the timeline, you'd have a timeline of current events. Britney and K-Fed divorcing, Brokeback Mountain released, Death toll in Iraq reaches [insert number here], stuff like that.
2. Floppy disks are an obsolete piece of technology. You should really be using CD-R discs, flash drives, or even a backup hard drive. If you have vital information on floppy discs, bring them into a computer shop and ask them to convert the files to a CD-R for you. It won't be that expensive, and it'll be a much more reliable storage method for you.
3. Any program like Limewire, you can convert the files to iTunes format (through the File->Add File to Library option). Videos, you can usually convert Quicktime to MP4. iTunes does it for you (sometimes you have to right click->convert first though)
hope I helped you a little!
