Deena, I have an old Dell laptop that I can send to you. Just let me know.
Isnthat the same Dell laptop I used to watch The Office (and many other DVDs) when S was in the hospital in SF a couple of years ago?
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

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!

Our wings are not tired.
It sho is. Boyfriend has been borrowing it for a year, but he just bought himself a new laptop so it's now freed up again.

That was such a sanity saver that holiday season, jc. Thanks again for that loan.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I love that there's a spare Buffista laptop floating around. It's like the high-tech equivalent of that box of kids clothing that's been making the rounds since Matilda was born.

So, apparently AT&T fucked up and exposed tons of iPad G3 personal data - including Rahm Emmanuel.
The worst part?
The subscriber data was obtained by a group calling itself Goatse Security.

Hey. New board.
Deena, the tech guy should be able to hook your hard drive into another computer or an external enclosure to check it. If he's not doing that he's either not very good or is trying to rip you off. Enclosures (which transform internal drives to external drives) are cheap.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Gris, that's what I asked him to do. He said he could check the data, but not check whether or not it would post or load the operating system. I don't understand why he couldn't have put it into another, working system to check it that way, but he said I was breaking up and he had a pretty thick accent. I'm bringing it home and will figure it out myself. I've just about got the laptop set up and I got it to recognize the backup drive for 5 minutes last night...though it's not today. I got some stuff off it, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Was Microsoft's ADO.NET renamed to just ADO? I remember when Microsoft discovered they were just confusing people by naming everything .NET, so they removed the .NET label from some products....
