Thanks guys. I'm sorry to bug, I was just feeling a little blinvisible next to all the very shiny Mac toys.

Sean, the one time that happened to me it meant replacing the MB.

Ugh. I hope not. I mean, eventually I'd like to replace the computer, but that is a looooong way off at the moment. Hell, even a super cheapo USB hub is straining the budget.

one of our customer service people just demonstrated to me that sharpening a pencil in our electric pencil sharpener causes her computer to generate a message that the network cable is unplugged.

Sounds like an electric sharpener that does not conform to FCC interference rules.

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

Answers a lot of my questions....

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

Sean, I might (unless it got purged for Discardia -- I'll have to check when I get home tonight) have a hub that I'm not using any more. It's yours if you want it.

Thanks, amych. I'll send an email to the profile addy.

OK, this is a shot-in-the-dark for Sean, but are there any BIOS settings re: PS/2 keyboard and mouse that are changeable?

Hmm, I'll check that out too, tommy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

ND (or other sound people), where's a good place to buy XLR cables online? (Or offline, if they have a phone #.)

RadioShack carries them, but the prices seem really high to me.

Our wings are not tired

And the radio shack ones are crap.

Try one of these Full Compass (If you call ask for Martin Vire, he's my sales rep and a greay guy), Musician's Friend, or Zzounds.

Don't fall for any of the monster cable bullshit. For premade cables you can usually get good quality ones for $15 to $20 for a 25' cable. Whirlwind is good, Mogami is good. Neutrik connectors are preferred.

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

Sounds like an electric sharpener that does not conform to FCC interference rules.

The company had the electric sharpener long before we even bought our original TRS-80. We have power problems in that end of the building. Their laser printer/fax machine is also triggering the alerts, although not as reliably as the sharpener.
