well, the cable box restart didn't do it, but it looks like the TIVO restart may have fixed the channel changing problem
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Does anyone have any experience mixing ATA and SATA hard drives in the same machine? My motherboard has connectors for both, but so far I've only installed ATA drives. I'm in the market for a new drive, and I'm considering adding a SATA.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Just out of curiosity - how big is your bookmark file?
I use the google sync thingie for Firefox, so each computer has the same copy of all my bookmarks. Anyway, my bookmarks.html file is 292 KB, and my bookmarks.xml is 286 kb.
I'm on my work computer at the moment - the Firefox bookmark file on my XP machine is here:
C:\Documents and Settings\MyUserName\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.m13\bookmarks.html

ATA is the same as IDE, right? I've had no problems connecting both to the same machine. It's no different from connecting another IDE drive. Just make sure your BIOS has SATA enabled. On some motherboards, it defaults to "disabled".

I installed a secondary SATA to the Dell box where I used to work. No problems at all--it ran better than the ata.
What's the google sync thingie? I've been using Foxmarks.

I have a few machines with both ATA and SATA drives and I've had no problems.

Google Browser Sync also can sync cookies, history and saved passwords in addition to bookmarks.

Yeah, that too. The formatting takes a fraction of the time an IDE drive takes to format.
