Question for those of you whose laptop batteries have been recalled: Did you fill out the form to get a new battery? If so, did you receive any kind of confirmation from Apple?
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

I just tried that search tool and it took me to some porn sites (oh my god let me wash my eyes out with soap) when looking for "Law & Order: CI."

Yikes! So...I guess there are some bugs.

FYI...re: Tivo To Go viewing problems.
I thought I had upgraded to Windows Media Player 10, but I was actually using WMP 8. Upgrading seemed to pretty much solve my problems.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am sad. I went and bought a Pioneer DVDRW drive. But it doesn't work with the stupid customised bezel of my Vaio. I need one that has a door narrower than than the whole unit, and the button to open it bottom right (the Pioneer was one of two).
On the upside, I also got a Uniden 5.8GHz phone and a 200GB drive (and discovered I have one more HD bay than I thought).
But going back to Fry's -- ick.

Going back a bit -- iMuffs, despite the name, might actually finally convince me to get an iPod and a Bluetooth-compatible cellphone.
Also, I'd like to commend the general geekery concerning baking the tapes. My boss has the master tapes for a couple albums of guitar music that he recorded in the 70s that he's considering getting transferred to digital, and I didn't understand from his description what a delicate process it was, or why it would cost several thousand dollars to do it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Documents To Go came with my Clie when I bought it, but only the Windows version. I still have it on the Clie, but without the desktop conduit bit, it's not very useful. Since it was bundled with the Clie installation software, I don't have a registration number. Anyone know of a way I can download the conduit for free? (Other than the 30-day trial version.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, a friend of mine has a computer that's apparently overrun with adware and spyware and whatever else, to the point where she can't really do anything on the computer because of all the popups. She's got a couple of programs to help, AdAware and Spybot and some other thing she paid for, but they aren't doing the trick. She's run them in safe mode and all. Is there anything she can do other than just reformat the hard drive and start over?
