Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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!

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. :-)

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?

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

Virus...don't know.

PC. Wait, I'm about to become a 2 OS household -- I need Mac recs too.

Will go check Sygate.
