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

I really should have bought a new home laptop a long time ago. But then, it would already be outdated, huh?

Guess I am really enjoying this shiny new one, with its Window 7. I bought Outlook 2007 at Costco and love how Plaxo syncs it up for me. I tried to do without it, since it didn't come with MS Home Premium or whatever it is I bought, but I really need to be able to see my full calendar.

Now I really want my workplace to upgrade to Win 7 and Outlook 2007. It isn't going to happen anytime soon.

I was wondering how that was a tech thing.

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

Typesetting, word processing; it's all technology.

Based on this sentence construction, I sense limes in your vicinity.

All is well that ends in pizza.

A lime is a terrible thing to waste.

I'm sensing another long lime of bad puns in this thread too.

Web design question:

I don't really understand CSS all that well. I'm trying to put a background image in a certain cell in a table. I got to work without using CSS, and now I want to do it using CSS.

Without CSS, the TD tag starts like this:

<td class='hrReg' style="background: #ffffff url(images/corner.gif) no-repeat right" >

Then I created a new entry in the style sheet which is the same as the 'hrReg' style but with this added:

background: #ffffff url(images/corner.gif) no-repeat right;

Then I changed the 'hrReg' class to the new style. That doesn't work. What am I missing?

eta: Nebbermind - got it to work. The file path in the CSS document has to be relative to the CSS file, not the file the table and stuff is on.
