Daniel I have a G5 tower. Make me an offer. It's a dual core 2 GHZ I believe.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I got my HDTV and receiver in 2006. My TV has been slowly dying, with a splotch on the screen that's been slowly growing. And now my receiver is dying, too. I'm a little pissed that this stuff only lasted four years.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A while ago someone was asking about this, but I'm not sure if it was this thread or Natter or Bitches - anyone remember?
Gmail Lets Your Unthread Your Email for a More Traditional Conversation View
eta:
Gmail updated today with a new option that allows users to turn off its trademark threaded conversation view for a more traditional email inbox.
We love Gmail specifically because of how it threads conversation into an easy to track flow, but some people still prefer the classic river or RE: to threaded conversations. Previously, that meant you either used Gmail with a desktop client or didn't use it at all. Now all you need to do is head to your Gmail settings, find the section labeled Conversation View, turn it off, and save your settings.
"Gmail with a desktop client" is what someone recommended to the person asking about this.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
All of a sudden, I want an eReader. A Nook is a rational choice, right? I'm fairly sure I don't want an iPad, since I'm good with the space between my phone and my Macbook.

I don't know. Why are you leaning towards a Nook over a Kindle?

Because I don't shop from Amazon.

I think a Nook is a rational choice. It also has the advantage of supporting Adobe Digital Editions which greatly increases your chances of being able to check out E-Books from the library.

Makes sense.
Can a Nook be used as a web browser like a Kindle can?
Also, the Kindle has a physical qwerty keyboard while the Nook has a touchscreen keyboard, if that makes a difference.

It can be used for browsing too. I think the Nook is based on Android.
