I just replaced my cooling fan! It was quite the ordeal; the stupid screws wouldn't go in straight very easily and then I was afraid of pushing the connector too hard into the motherboard. But I didn't break anything. And now my computer is very quiet and very cool. Cooler than it was before, I think; I can really feel this fan blowing air out.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

AHhh! Just about had a heart attack--came home tonight and planned to do some recording of DVDs from things stored on my TiVo, to make room for New Fall Season! And suddenly...nothing worked! I kept hitting remote buttons and it made the bad/sad sound, and nothing would come up! NOOOOO!
I powered it down, and restarted it, and it is working now. WHEW! But I don't have TIME (or, um, inclination or money?) to shop for a new TiVo! Don't SCARE me like that, device!!

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

Pretty Sony Walkman is pricy. Which is probably for the best because otherwise I'd be all over that brown one.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
if anyone has connected a Tivo wirelessly to a network with an Airport express. I need help.
ETA - of course, the NEXT time I tried, going round a different way, it seems to have worked. 5 hours over 2 nights and buying a new adapter, that's all it has taken. Now to get the software and see if I can download these f'in cartoons.

“Not dead yet!”
Okay, let's see if Buffista magic works here. When I work at my desk (which is about 90% of the time) my MacBook Pro is hooked up to a monitor, everything's great, blah, blah.
If I disconnect from the monitor to use the laptop on its own, any open Word doc pages shrink to approximately 1/8 of its normal size. Or rather, the viewing window shrinks while everything within the window remains the original size. You'd think I'll I have to do is drag the window back open to its normal size, but nope. That doesn't work. Everything else in Word works, I can minimize the window into the Dock, I can copy and paste and scroll. I just can't stretch the freakin' window back to its original size. The only way to do that is quit Word and reopen.
This is something that only started when I switched to Word 2008. Upgrading to Snow Leopard doesn't seem to have altered this tendency any except now the background of the doc remains white rather than turning babyshit brown, which it had been doing.
It's not a HUGE deal, necessarily, just inconvenient. Any searches I've done have come up empty. Any ideas/suggestions?

have you checked the monitor/display settings? I bet you just need to adjust them.

Everything's as it should be there, unless there's something I should be looking at that I'm missing.
This only started happening when I upgraded to Word 2008 from 2004.
I should point out too, this isn't a consistent problem. Sometimes it does it, sometimes it doesn't. There's no rhyme or reason to it. Which makes it that much more baffling and annoying.
