Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

If I only had a brain...

Replacing the power supply did indeed bring the TiVo back to life. I couldn't have done it if I hadn't upgraded the TiVo before, though; unlike hard drive upgrades, WeakKnees power supply replacements come with *no* tools and completely inadequate instructions. If I didn't already know my way around the Tivo's carcass, I'd have been lost.

So what you're saying is I should get the powersupply AND the upgrade, Betsy? :)

Unless you have a lifetime subscription for your existing TiVo, I'd just buy a new one -- TiVo's giving 'em away free at the moment if you buy service -- and put a new drive in that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

No one knows the answer to my Flash question? My blind faith is crushed.

I'm shopping around for a digital camera. I want something that is relatively inexpensive, decent quality, and *small*. Something that I could just cart around in my purse. The Concord 5040 looks like it might be what I'm thinking of, but I know nothing about what to look for in a camera. Nothing.

Help?

Flash question?

Dana:

Go to the very last frame of the movie and right- or control-click; select Actions, and find Stop under, I think, Movie. (It's been a few months since I used Flash, but the stop command should be somewhere in the Actions window.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The Concord 5040 looks like a pretty good deal for the features you want. The only hitch I can see is that a memory card isn't included in the package -- budget at least another $50 for that.

Hivemind Question(s):

How could someone have disabled my task manager without me knowing it, and how can I get it back, and for what purpose would this hypothetical someone have done this thing?
