Bless both of you!
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.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Don't worry, it's not for sale.
Yet.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Well, technically, the DirecTiVo's won't split your signal, either. It's just that we pay extra to have another line run from the dish. We do get the functionality you're talking about, but it's not the TiVo that's doing it.
So far as I understand it.
Which is, I know, completely useless to your question, sumi. I dunno the real answer to your question.

I guess the other part of my question is this:
on the analog side if I pre-program my vcr to record, I can watch something else while it tapes whatever I programmed -- no need to split the signal to do that. I was told when I got digital that this isn't possible.
Is this still likely to be true when we're all digital?
