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....

Anybody know how to use Docs to Go on a Palm? I thought I just had to put some Word Docs into the Palm installer, but that didn't work.

No -- you should have a Documents To Go icon on your desktop, and you use that interface to make a copy for your Palm, which'll happen when you next sync.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

There should be both a Docs to Go on your PDA and on your desktop. You add documents to the desktop thingy, and then when it syncs, they go to your Palm.

Wolfram, I think you have to use the Docs to Go application, not the Palm installer, for those.

Hee, cross-posty.

Thanks for the tips. Now where do I find that desktop program? My docs to go came pre-installed on the Palm, and it doesn't seem to be part of Palm Desktop.

Did the Palm come with a CD of apps to install?
