Art Crawl!!!

Went to our lousy little Best Buy - depressing.

Would it save my tv a bit if I hooked up the cable and vcr to the 13" screen which I still have. (I thought I'd put it out in the garbage.) That way I could save the other one for the dvd player. (The vcr in the TV-VCR combo totally interferes with any dvd enjoyment.)

HELP!

I'm trying to set up my wireless network. I've got the router working, but I can't seem to connect to it via my laptop. It's automatically going to another wireless router, and I can't choose mine. What should I be trying? What do I need to tell you so you can help me?

Nebbermind. I'm giving up for tonight. I'll play with it more tomorrow.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's automatically going to another wireless router, and I can't choose mine.

What kind of laptop?

It might be set to automatically connect to the strongest signal. If it's a Mac I can maybe help you, but I've never messed around with WiFi on a Windows maching.

All is well that ends in pizza.

VW, did you connect to it via ethernet first?

Yup. And that connection works fine. Actually, they all work fine now, but I have encryption disabled, which is *not* how I want to keep it. I've decided to mess with it more, though, when the DSL is working, since I may have to redo parts of this when I switch modems.

Any Tivo experts out there? My Tivo won't connect - I get a No DHCP Server message whether I'm using wireless or plugging it in to the network. The other day, it was also failing to pick up that the cable/router was plugged into it. Any brilliant ideas that don't involve me having to replace the fucker?

I need to recreate this image [link]

in a format that will work for print, rather than web, and that I can use in Microsoft Word and Microsoft publisher.

The tools I have available are word or publisher. Are there any freeware programs out there wherein this would be easier?

You might search for a blurry speed-liney font that looks like that. Then you could type it into whatever app you want.

Sophia, I can recreate it for you and send it to you, if you like.
