Vortex,
I just bought a refurb Ipad and I am as happy as can be! Cheaper price, things works (it is brand new for all intents and purposes) and it has Apple's warranty.
Whee!!!
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

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!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I got my iPhone 3G as a refurb about almost 2 years ago and it's had no more problems than I'd expect from a bought-new one -- it's a little scratched and banged and I'm itching for an iPhone 4 now, but that's the 2 years talking, not the refurb.

Google Docs question:
I'm setting up a form that feeds its answers into a spreadsheet (so that I can gather lab results from all my students and then share class data with those students). It's a pretty long form, so I've broken it into several pages. Is there any functionality to add a "save" button for the person filling out the form so that a partially filled form may be (a) saved at intervals (like every page) in case of computer crash, and/or (b) saved at intervals so that it can be returned to / completed in multiple stages/sessions? I haven't been able to find anything.

Una,
no, I don't think so. I think you can do a work around.
1) have different spreadsheets that have different parts of the form
2) create a final spreadsheet that combines the data from the other spreadsheets into one form.
what you would need to do if you do the above is make sure everyone has a unique id so that you can match the responses across each spreadsheet.
is the above clear.

Passing this on from a friend - is there a legal way to burn iTunes video (purchased) to a playable DVD?

I've purchased quite a few reconditioned Apple products over the years and have had great luck. Quite a few MacBook Pros and a few iMacs. Apple also replaced my iPhone 3G when my original one died and their replacements are reconditioned, it worked fine the whole time I used it.

My refurbished iPod has been a dream--it's lasted the longest of all three of my iPods. I've rarely had to reboot it!

I did some testing, and, yep, Comcast is also delaying any e-mail with a livejournal.com URL in it by five minutes. Not forty-five, unfortunately, so I can't explain the extra forty minutes that started happening a couple weeks ago. When this started happening a year ago, they claimed not to be filtering anything from the lj-notify@livejournal.com address, so I'm not sure.
