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

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Allows you to use a desktop computer while sitting in bed.Me likee space-saving aspects of that design. Would be useful in many situations.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
See, but that's for sitting up in bed. When I saw your link, I was picturing a monitor suspended above my head so I could lie down in bed and type up. Heh.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
A friend gave me a Sony SVR-2000 Tivo box. I have no wish to actually purchase the tivo service (nor do I have a landline to utilize). I can't seem to figure out how to bypass the phone set-up to be able to use the machine as a plain digital recorder. Google isn't giving me any help on that either. Anyone here have a suggestion?

Question for people familiar with Outlook Express and the way viruses work:
I have two harddrives. I use one as a system drive and the other has a data drive, so that if something's likely to get fried or nuked by a virus, it's the system drive. Before, I had stored my mail in the default folder on the C drive because I hadn't bothered to check whether I could change it. I manually backed up my mail every now and then, but it's a pain, and I'm paranoid that I'll forget for months and then the C drive will die. So today I changed the mail to be stored on the D drive.
What I'm wondering is that now that OE is deliberately accessing the D drive, does that it make it more vulnerable to any viruses or worms I might get? Or will those still attack the C drive, the one running the program?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's not that simple, PC. Viruses are programs, and as such, do whatever the writer wanted them to do. They may not kill drives, they may grab all your e-mail addresses and propagate, or they may take all your data and throw it to the winds.

So, basically, I'm no more or less safer. Okay. Stupid viruses.

Stupid viruses.
Well, the viruses probably think we're stupid.
Or maybe....
The viruses were created by man. They were created to make life easier on Earth. And then the day came when the viruses decided to kill their masters. After a long and bloody struggle, an armistice was declared. The viruses left for another world to call their own. Now mankind's children are returning home.

The viruses were created by man.
They evolved. They rebelled. There are many copies.
AND THEY HAVE A PLAN.
