I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Buffistechnology 2: You Made Her So She Growls?  

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

When I had cable, I was like, ten yards away from the main whoosits, and I lived in a tiny tiny town where people barely had computers, let alone high-speed at the time, so with no shared competition it was blazing for me. Rocked.

The DSL at the youth center where I work is fine, and reasonably fast, but needs reset periodically.

The direct T1 line at my library wasn't too shabby. Heh.

My current spotty 19.2 dial-up, otoh, bites.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I like the description of the Tivo upgrade hard drive. This may be in my future this summer

I think ita got that a while back.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I did, and I think it was 'Suela that tipped me to it.

Gorgeous, but it's sad how quickly I got used to it and filled it up with stuff. I don't need to keep complete seasons of shows, yet ...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

oh yeah, I've been bugging ita about hers for a long while. I haven't been able to justify spending $$ on an extra drive yet, so let's see what I come up this summer. :-)

You don't have one?

Oops.

No, I have a Tivo and I did get a hard drive added when the original one got fried. I just find it hard to believe I was ahead of you on any technological curve. I am amongst the least tech-savvy Buffistas.

Hee. Your TV addiction served you well in this instance.

I didn't get a TiVo until I moved here anyway.

Anti-virus/firewall question: My NAV subscription is expiring. With what would you recommend replacing it?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I like Sygate for a firewall. It is really good. And free.

Virus...don't know.
