Ooh, maybe it's time to upgrade. Assuming I ever get my connection probs figured out.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Found the Launchcast requirements. No OS X.
Well, hmph.
Kat, if you select any PDF and go to Get Info, there's an option near the bottom to select the default application, and it should say "Use this application to open all documents like this" or something to that effect.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Right now, all PDFs are automatically opening in Preview, not in Reader. Is there a way for me to change that? And if so, how?Find a pdf, Get Info (open apple + I) and it gives you an option to change the default program for this doc or all docs like it.
For a better explanation, someone needs a Mac in front of them. Or I can check tomorow. The short answer is, yes, you can.
eta: Or just wait for Jessica. Which is actually usually a really good idea.
Also, if you don't have one or haven't seen the mighty mouse, it's AWESOME. I love the two button feel/one button look and the excellent scroll nubbin.I've had a two-button scrolly mouse for ages and I can't imagine computing without it.

Absolutely. You will pry my Logitech MX700 from my cold dead hands. Unless you want to offer me an MX1000 to replace it with.

I have a two button scrolly cordless on my desktop, and a regular one on my Mac Mini. But on the school laptop, I just had a touch pad. Until the Mighty Mouse which I love.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Any OS X users use the Fire IM client? How does it stack up to Trillian?
I bought a mouse for my laptop, and it's very pretty, but I finally took the batteries out and put it away, since my laptop is very often in my lap, and I love the touchpad.
I do miss mouse gestures, though.

Hey. New board.
I use Adium, ita. I love it more than life itself - more than Fire, Proteus, Gaim, Trillian, or any other IM client I've ever used.

Got a question: once all tv signals go digital, I've suddenly realized that my current plan of splitting my cable so that I can tape the lower numbered channels while watching the higher ones will no longer work.
When everything is digital, will I be able to tape A and watch B without doing something specatcular? Or will I need a tivo in order to watch programs that air simultaneously?

I'm not sure how that works. I mean, I have digital cable now and I can still do what you're already doing. I'm not sure if the technology changes when we have to migrate.

Tivo (except for the DirectTivo models, which I think have been discontinued) won't split your signal, so that won't help.
But what I really came in here to post was a link to a 102" plasma TV. (Yes, it's only a prototype. But it's pretty.)
