You might check with DX. I'm fairly sure he subscribes to something baseball-related, though it might be radio.

Tom, if you get a Roku box, MLB is one channel you can subscribe to.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

What's a good program for running multiple IM accounts on a PC? I'm trying to set up my new netbook to be travel-ready.

A warning. I tried a trial period of MLB through my Roku and was completely disgusted with the blackout rules. It was terrible. Between Fox owning ALL day Saturday and the various other technicalities of blackouts, I watched maybe 2 Phillies games in the SF market (I got the trial because I wanted to watch the Phillies with my boyfriend) during the 6 weeks or so I had the trial.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Does anyone here subscribe to MLB.tv?
I had it for one season, when it came free with my DSL service. It was pretty good. Granted, this was 3 or 4 years ago. The one thing I really liked, after working long day, I could watch pitch by pitch game, so it was just each pitch, none of the scratch/spit BS between pitches. Reduced the game to about an 80-90 minutes (For a Yankee game, that's fast). They also had a (forget name) action only game, so only the pitches when something happened (hit, out, strike out, steal, failed attempt steal, etc). That dropped the game down to about 45 minutes. Not for every game, and not live, but nice when working crazy hours and want to see what happened.

If you are ok with watching a game AFTER it's done, I think that bypasses the blackout rules. Not sure how long it takes before you can watch it. Last season I did the season pass on cable. Too many blackouts, and Time Warner didn't offer HD games. Now that I'm with U-verse, not sure.

I have a specific document that refuses to print from Word. Does that make any sense? Excerpts pasted into new documents print correctly. I tried copying the full text, minus the last paragraph mark, and putting it in a new document, but no luck.

It claims to be printing. Nothing backs up in the print queue. No error messages. Just no printing.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I bet the document is corrupted.

My suggestion: save the document with a different name. Re-open and try again.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Then, reboot the computer and re-open Word.
