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!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Have new computer. Can post from home again.

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

I might be looking for an external hard drive and searching through the thread, I found a post by ND: NoiseDesign "Buffistechnology 2: You Made Her So She Growls?" Jan 13, 2005 6:27:42 pm PST

That page isn't showing anything. Can you name the hard drives you were talking about?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Has anyone running OS X made an iPhoto book? And if so, what did you think of the quality?

To tommyrot, the specs on the workable ancient laptops about my house:

the luggable, NEC PowerMate Plus:

80286
DOS 6.22
109 meg HD
according to the MEM command, 639K memory

No information on how old it is, the last time a volume was created on it was 1996, I believe.

2nd, Zenith Data Systems Z*note 325L
the earliest inventory sticker says 1993
once ran Win3.1

386, I think
DOS 6.20
121 meg HD
according to MEM command, 655,360 mem

If I only had a brain...

I came home from vacation to find the main TiVo , a Series 2, dead. When you power it on, the LEDs turn yellow/orange, but nothing is output on video.

From what I can find at Weaknees, the culprit is probably the power supply. Before I order the non-refundable supply, is there any way to verify whether it's the power supply or the motherboard that died?

Ooh. I look forward to the answers to both Betsy and Teppy's questions. Also, Betsy, if one determined the cause, where would one order a new powersupply from, and roughly how much would it be?

If I only had a brain...

You can get a new power supply from Weaknees.com for $50.00. That includes ground shipping; I'm desperate, so I anted for faster service. I went through the troubleshooter at the Weeknees site, then sent them mail; they sent back mail saying "Yup, sounds like the power supply to us."

I figure $50.00 is a cheap price to pay to try to save the existing investment, since the lifetime pass is not transferable from one TiVo to another.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Is there anything you all like for setting up mailing lists? All I know of is either Yahoo groups, or, like the music thread set up, a single gmail account. I just want something for four or five people.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I feel like a dunce for not being able to figure this out, but it's getting later and later in the day.

I've created a very simple Flash movie. How do I get it to stop after one run through the timeline, rather than looping?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

google has a mailing list service now, which I've found much easier to deal with than Yahoo (although it doesn't have the built in file and photo space that yahoo does, so it's just mailing list management). groups-beta.google.com
