Early 90s, my dad's observatory was an early adopter/pioneer of remote (remote-control as it was called back then) observing (over the internet!) and so had basically the fastest connection available outside defense. First time I went online was up there. I remember mosaic and looking through the vatican library (?I have no idea why) and JCrew. And again, I have no idea why.

I so totally didn't get the appeal. Hahahahah.

Remember phone? Used that to chat with my hs buddy at Harvard. On VAX.

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

Ha! I remember VAX. Oy. I feel old. Is this our generations version of "uphill, in the snow, barefoot"?

So? Why did my cheap-o new laptop with Win7 come with a phone modem built in?

Great, I have been sucked in to buying a new TiVo. :)

Our wings are not tired

Be aware, that is the model of Tivo that requires two Cablecards, it will not work with a single multistream card.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My aging 5th gen (30GB) iPod won't hold a charge, and now the click wheel is becoming increasingly unresponsive. Worth taking to the Genius Bar to have the battery replaced, or should I just recycle it and buy a new one?

[Feh - And now I've realized it won't sync either - I've got it plugged in now and it's alternating between the apple logo and the sad-face Mac error message.]

[edit2 - Okay, I was able to restore it after all. Fingers crossed it will be able to play music again once it reloads everything!]

Nope. Click wheel still not responding. Time for a new one, I think.

Hmmm, iPad preorders start tomorrow at 5:30 AM Pacific Time. I'm trying to decide if I should set an alarm.

I have mine reserved for pickup! So excited!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Can anyone recommend a good online backup service? I'm paranoid about my laptop AND my external HD going kaplooey, or the house blowing up, or something.
