Yeah, it sounds like the same gesture set as the laptop trackpads, which I've enjoyed playing with already.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Hey. New board.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So.... check out xkcd, for a dose of nostalgia: [link]
Not the strip (though that's OK) but the site itself has gone for a little redesign. Boing Boing sez:
T sez, "I know you folks follow xkcd as good alpha-geeks should, so you won't have missed today's dose of nostalgically eyeball-searing brilliance [ed: a tribute to the soon-to-be-shut-down Geocities]. Just wanted to make sure you took an extra couple minutes to "view source" on the site's "redesign" though. Well worth poring over the lovingly crafted neolithic HTMLer in-jokes there. <FONT COLOR="#88FF88" STYLE="FORTHRIGHT">srsly.</FONT>"
eta:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="QBASIC">IF $BROWSER = "IE" THEN GOTO 50</SCRIPT>
Heh.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If the point is to watch Hulu on your TV, don't forget you'll also need audio.

Coding and Sleeping
I've gotten used to Office 2007, things not on the ribbon can be sort of hard to find though. I can see how it would be easier than Office XP for someone just starting out.
One problem with the upgraded home computer, my work computer seems sluggish now. Applications take longer than a second to open. Firefox in particular isn't as responsive.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Like I said, tiggy, we use the S-video and then just turn the volume up on the laptop. It's not fancy sound, but it's fine for watching stuff off the web.
Once you connect the cable, you'll need to find the place on your laptop where you can switch to extended monitors. Ideally, your laptop will then be monitor 1, and your TV will be monitor 2.

thanks, Jessica and Dana.

You can also get a cable at Radio Shack or Best Buy that allows you to connect the headphones/speakers output on your laptop to the stereo inputs on your TV.
