I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Does anyone know of an adapter set that will allow you to use a regular keyboard wirelessly? I'm googling but so far all I can find is an IR adapter for PDAs. My issue is that I need a really good adapted keyboard for my disability - a normal wireless keyboard would really hurt.

I do indeed have a pair of Shur EC2 (I think) at home that I hated and won't wear. I've given up on listening to the iPod on the plane because the plane is too loud and the Shurs were so uncomfortable. I also have some hearing loss so I'm afraid to go too loud anyway...

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Alas, I am too impatient and so I went ahead and ordered. Sorry 'bout that. We'll see how it works; I'm reasonably earplug-tolerant.

Consuela, I just sent you mail about the Schur earbuds.

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

Hi guys -- I found this via Dealram, and it looks suspiciously cheap to me. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with it?

(Also, it says "for 1.8Ghz models" -- mine's a dual 2Ghz, is that going to matter?)

All is well that ends in pizza.

That is very cheap.

Like $50-$90 cheaper than other sites.

What kind of system do you have?

Yeah, which is why I'm suspicious, especially since it's not listed as a promotional/clearance price. I've got a dual 2Ghz PowerMac G5 (not Intel, about a year old). The RAM that came with it is PC3200.

I think I'll play it safe and just order from OWC.

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

TiVo Desktop (not To Go) is now available for the Mac ,10.3+.

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

Without TiVo To Go, my lack of caring is remarkably large. Why does TiVo refuse to get that?
