I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I bought a DVD recorder and have started transferring stuff from VHS. The manual says I have to "finalize the disc" to make it playable on "external devices". I am unclear on what that means and if I really need to do it. I'm questioning the advisability because the first thing I transferred played back fine (on the recorder) until I finalized it. After it was finalized, it didn't play back on the recorder, or in my laptop, and became no longer recordable. If I don't finalize my discs, will they only play back on this recorder?

I went ahead and bought a new DVD-recording TiVo! Cause it was only $260 for an 80 hour one, at Best Buy, and I got the HR person to promise to FINALLY get me the referral bonus I've been waiting on, today. It's setting up RIGHT NOW.

I still might get a new powersupply for my old one and set it up with the other TV. Depends on how many shows conflict this fall...anyone know already of any big conflicts?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Did you mean to put that here, LN?

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

yes, isn't it in response to meara's question?

You know, it is. I somehow missed the second sentence in the second paragraph of her post.

Have I mentioned the sinus meds?

Sorry about that.

Hey. New board.

For future reference:

If you get addicted to two large monitors and have to drop back to one for financial/other reasons, the easiest way to adjust is to spend a couple of weeks using nothing but a tiny laptop screen.

Then, when you move back to the single large monitor, it feels like infinite screen real estate.

Hey. New board.

Okay, this is fricking cool.

Oh google, how I love thee.
