We're becoming a society of acronyms and shorthand. (Or acros and SH.) It doesn't please me.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I recieved a shiny new flatscreen monitor at work today, and it's got a much higher resolution than my old one. I want to set my Outlook preview pane to a slightly bigger font, and I can't figure out how to do it across all mailboxes. (Doing it one mailbox at a time is certainly possible, but would take all morning, since I do a lot of filtering.) Anyone know where this setting is?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ha. While I have hitherto thought of it as fidelity, I will now happily think of it as wireless fiction.
Also, the iPod photo does not currently allow me to transfer photos directly off a memory card or by USB or firewire from a camera, right? Because if it did, and allowed me to use it as a small, portable, extended storage capacity device while taking pictures in the field, it would be tremendously useful, and I would have to buy one Right Now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They have an optional iThingie that allows you to do that.
eta: somewhere towards the top of this page: [link]
eta²: there are two different things - one that can transfer from a camera to an iPod, and another (by Belkin) that can read various memory cards into an iPod.

Ooh!
Thanks, tommyrot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Where's a good local place to which to donate (ugh, ugly grammar) a 17" CRT in good repair?

My house? Assuming a CRT is some sort of TV.
Kidding. I would suggest Goodwill. But I really don't know.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I'm assuming it's a monitor with a VGA input, so mostly useless for TV purposes.
My default for donating stuff is the Salvation Army, mostly because they have a store near where I work.

Our wings are not tired.
We have a number of local charities that take working equipment, but not components. I have a garage full of used parts that I need to toss, but garbage rules say they harm the landfills and need to be recycled. The recycling centers charge you per pound when you drop stuff off. Unless I find a better solution I am about to toss stuff in various construction dumpsters around town.

Mostly lurking...
Huh. That's interesting, Laura. Our recycling will take one piece per household each week. Too bad they don't have something like that for you...
