Sometimes you expect something cheap to be a piece of crap, but the $99 Walmart Android "tablet" really overdoes it...
It's more versatile than you think!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
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.)

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Can someone test something for me? Can you try to go to [link] I tried to log in with my old account last night and did it a couple times due to being unsure about the password. It now goes to an invalid session page, even if I go to the page where you find out about subscribing. I want to see if this is related to my login attempts or whether they're having some general errors on their server right now.

Goes to the "subscribe" page for me, Spidra.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Check out this computer gaming station: [link]
It just needs wheels or robotic feet to roll/walk about while you play.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
So...does the Nook really not have landscape mode? And is the web browser not allowed to be used on 3G? Those seem like deal killers to me.
And does anyone have the new Nook color or have it ordered yet? It looks like that resolves both of those plus adds document viewing and Pandora, but at the cost of lcd instead of e-ink, and thus battery life in hours and not weeks, and is not available in 3G. Harumph.
