Vortex, how old were episodes? Our Tivo sends the earliest recorded shows from the deleted list into the ether first, regardless of the order in which they were deleted.

Wah. The Mac Mini won't start up, just goes to a "you must restart your computer" screen. In safe mode, from CD, with all peripherals unplugged, nothing makes a difference. Any ideas?

Sometimes you expect something cheap to be a piece of crap, but the $99 Walmart Android "tablet" really overdoes it:

A simple idea but kind of awesome. A computer case with a drive dock in the top. If I needed a case, this would be a strong contender just for that feature.

Heh. Just spent more than a half hour looking at all the cool ThinkGeek stuff... sigh.

I'm looking SOS for on-line backup (windows only). What makes it sound good:
Your choice between instant and scheduled backup. So if instantly backing up saved files slows you down, you can switch to daily or whatever. That beats carbonite. Also you can completely unload program if you need to, which beats Mozy. And has best feature of rivals including:
Decent support for local disks, so you can use the same program for local and on-line backups, versioning, backup of open files, genuinely simple interface, can backup multiple computers.
A bit more expensive than the cheapest rivals, but not horribly so: $80 for 50 Gig, or $100 for 100 gig annually. (Obviously no charge for local backups).
Can't exactly rec since I haven't tried it. And obviously how good that price is depends on whether your need for off-site (as opposed to local) backup priced is within their limitations, since it gets very expensive if you want more on-line storage than this. But for people whose on-line backup need fit with these limits it looks to me like it is worth considering. (They have business plans which look extremely expensive.)
