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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
First thing I learned from Google:
Now don't confuse a dead pixel with a fleck of dirt on the screen or a piece of dried snot.
Policies on dead pixels, but I don't know when this was written: [link]
It seems that every manufacturer has their own policy, so find out what yours is....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fun!! The keyboard actually enters exactly what I'm typing. It's like a miracle.

So, is ipodlounge.com the best site to point people to if they have questions about their new-for-Christmas iPods? Apparently lots of my co-workers got iPods, and most of them are confused about using iTunes and their work PCs.
(Bless their little hearts, they've all decided I am the person with knowledge about All Things iPod; partially because they've all seen me using mine every day, but also because I look odd, and therefore must understand Apple computer widgits.)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Well, it's not a terribly wrong conclusion. ::grin::

Speaking of things gotten for Christmas, I'm going to talk to my IT department (but hold out little hope)--I got a jump drive with the idea that I could then easily get things between my home and work computers....but today tried to use it at work, and didn't seem to get anything, becuase it's Windows NT. Am I right in suspecting NT is eeeeevil? (The support page for the specific product said for Win98 you needed a driver, and for Win2000 and XP you didn't....but didn't mention NT).

Ever since I bought my iBook, it's been my favorite computer ever. Well, my Apple cube arrived today and it's my new favorite. Such a beautiful design (along with the 17" Apple LCD display I bough). It has no cooling fan so it's eerie how it's completely silent.

I just gotta get Airport, bluetooth and a wireless keyboard and mouse. Then I have to decide: upgrade the 450 mhz G4 processor to a 1.7 Ghz processor, or two 1.5 Ghz processors....

When your cube is reduced to a blob of melted plastic, you know where to find another...

For anything but copying music from an iPod to your computer, [link] is a good source of information.

Hey, people do it with add-in boards designed especially for the Cube. There are three companies that offer them. (Of course, cooling fans are required.) eg: [link]
