Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You can buy from a dealer, Rio. It's about $200.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

All my fingers? (Um, not for Rio. For proof of death, y'know) Since I won't be using them anymore? Will that do you? And you can have both ears if you like, but I do NOT have a tail. "It's only a little tail."

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I have a friend with small (4 computer) XP based network. She has Macfee AV+firewall on each individual commputer, but a router with no hardware base firewall.

Should I suggest she upgrade to one? If so, what is a reasonably priced decent quality product ?

Thanks

Our wings are not tired

But it'll take a bigger audio geek than me to confirm.

FM is not extremely high quality. There is not a true 180 degree split between the stereo channels. If memory serves, it is more on the order of 120 degrees or possibly as low at 100. Also the signal to noise ratio is somewhere around 76 or 86 dB as opposed to 96 dB on a CD.

Even a cassette adapter will give better sounding results in most instances.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

My Sampo DVD player is acting up. When I turn it on, the status screen on the DVD player lights up all the possible setting (the clock, the timer, am, pm, all the forward/back symbols) and nothing else happens. I can't open the the DVD slide to get out the DVD out fo there, and there is nothing on the channel where the on screen controls normally are.

Is the sucker fried?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just got an e-mail from a friend with an attachment that said it was 2005Calendar.doc, but prompts me to save it as 2005Calendar.exe. Which is rude. However Symantec knows not of this as a virus.

Does it mean anything to anyone else? She is the sort of person who would send me a calendar (and I'd like it), but I'm suspicious even though my virus scanner didn't find anything.

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

CaBil, try unplugging it for a minute. That's all I got....
