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?
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

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

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.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We've been using Mozy, which backs up fine. Haven't had to restore from it yet. Be prepared for the fact that your initial upload of files will take a while. Like, days.
