I'd rather not fill up the hard drive with unwanted stuff.
That's totally not a concern with TiVos, by the way. They delete unwanted stuff for wanted stuff so it never gets in the way.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

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!

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

I turned off the Tivo recs thing because I was sick of it trying to change the channel I was currently watching.

Mine gets interesting stuff that I don't want to invest a season pass in (Star Trek, Stargate, Doctor Who repeats) and stuff I feel guilty for not watching (astronomy and history). So I keep it on. It also gets me a lot of Buffy and Angel, and I feel anthropomorphically fondly towards it because of that. I check it every day amd trim it, because nothing stays there for long.

Before that I had a few Panasonic stand alone DVR's that I really liked.
And now I like them! I love how easy it is to edit out commercials and burn a DVD. I solved the buzzing problem, if I only could bother to figure out how to get the guide working, it would be perfect.

what was the buzz problem? (yes, the sound guy was too lazy by the time he got home to figure that out)

I don't know but there was often a hum/buzz that didn't show up on DVDs, so I didn't know if it was the TV or the DVR. It seemed like it was getting worse and I contempated replacing either or both. I tried different connections, but nothing worked until I used both the audio/video inputs and the RF (Is that it? The basic cable that used to be used on VCRs back in the day) input. No idea why, but there's no more buzz.

Typo, back to your Word question -- it used to be that you could create your own toolbar icons with specific functions that you specified. Unfortunately I don't have Word to play with, but I can remember doing it. I hope you can Google it successfully.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You can create custom ribbons in Word and other Office 2007 programs. However, you must create them using XML. (At least in Access, anyway.)

The inelegant solution, if there's just one or two things you want to add, is to stick them up in the Quick Access bar. That is customizable.

I thought that you couldn't change the ribbon in Word. Believe me, I would like to. I'm wasting valuable real estate on stuff I don't use or want.
