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?
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I need to recreate this image [link]
![[link]](http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/son/CNC/images/fast_small.gif){kind=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.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Sophia, I can recreate it for you and send it to you, if you like.

That would be awfully nice of you Deena. We have been taking the web image, resizing it, and using it on print, and it is driving me crazy!
I am at email deleted

They are, thanks, As I said in my email, sometimes the way departments save money is silly. It takes me three times as long to do something using only publisher and word than when I had InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop at my disposal. It took me forever to figure out how to make rounded corners on a box in Publisher.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My brain is totally not working today....
What do you call that feature that allows you to display sharper text on an LCD monitor? (It does this by controlling/adjusting the individual colored LCD bits that comprise a single pixel in order to smooth the text.) Both PCs and Macs can do this and I have all my Macs set to do this - I'm trying to set my new LCD monitors at work to do this and I can't find where you change the setting for this in XP.
eta: Does MS call it "ClearType"? Is that it?
eta: Nebber mind. That's it. And what a difference it makes.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Monitor question: my monitor, which is unfortunately just slightly out of warranty, appears to have given up the ghost on me. I first had trouble with it one evening last week, when it suddenly shut off and wouldn't turn back on; I fooled around with the connections for a while, and it seemed that when I unplugged and then replugged the cord leading from the monitor to the little transformer box--I have no idea if that's what it actually is, but it's the box between the monitor and the outlet--anyway, it seemed that fooling with that brought it back. So I figured I'd just knocked the plug loose somehow. But it cut out again last night, and is refusing to come back on.
The question is this: Is there any hope that this is a problem that could be repaired at some reasonable cost? Or do I need to give up and buy a new monitor?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You'll probably find that it's cheaper just to buy a new monitor. They're basically disposable items at this point.
