Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, I'm all ready to burn a DVD, except there's not enough hard drive space (on the computer with the burner) for it to store the files temporarily while it does the burning. (The files it's gonna burn are all on other computers.) (In fact, both hard drives on that computer are smaller than the DVD I'm gonna make.)
Do ya think it'll work if I specify a network drive as a place to store the temporary files? or am I just begging for a buffer underrun?
DVD burner is 4x, 100 megabit network.
eta: am now spelunking through old computers, looking for a 5+ Gig hard drive.

how can I find out if it needs a USB A / USB A cable or a USB A/USB B cable, so I can order them together?
I was very irritated when the printer I bought did not come with its own requisite USB cable, and I had to immediately turn around and go back to Best Buy for the damned cable.
I don't recall if it even specified on the outside of the box that I needed a cable. I think I only found out when I opened the box and read the instructions that said "plug in the printer, with USB cable sold seperately."
Fuckers.

Our wings are not tired
Very few USB printers ship with a cable any more.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
In my day, parallel port printers never came with cables. We had to make our own out of old phone cords. You you kids today want everything so easy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When we sold parallel port printers, we never sold them with cables either. I've just assumed printers still came cable-free.

Does it come with a USB cable?

Quick Word/Excel question for the hivemind. I have a Word document with a table in it, and I want to open the table in Excel. I'm sure it's something simple, I just have no idea what to do.
ETA: never mind, cutting and pasting works just fine. I'm such a maroon.
