Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Jessica, any chance the Staples or Mac Support store near you has better prices? It looks like Radio Shack near you is worse than Target.

Not really, no. I'm not interested in a trip to Manhattan today.

What about a Radio Shack?

Honestly, I've never seen cables in any brick & mortar store that could match internet prices.

(Heh - and yes, I have moved from the address it looks like you're centered on. Not too terribly far, but far enough to make it an annoying trip on public transit.)

Hmm, If the store carries them, Maybe you CAN get this cable for $12 at a nearby Radio Shack... [link]

Alas, Google-fu is tripped up by RL events and moves.

Heh.

Oh, ND! That would be fantastico! I signed up for the course thinking that I could run the software on my ancient iBook only to find out that it wasn't going to work.

Television has been obtained! I'm glad I got the 42 inch, because the 47 would not have fit in the space. It is currently obtaining channel info. It's going to take a minute I think.

I looked long and hard at the Samsung (including a side trip to Best Buy to see it in person), but ultimately went with the Vizio. I checked Consumer Reports, CNet, and some online fora. Between price and warranty at Costco, it's the best deal.

Plus, I thought that the universe was trying to tell me something since there was one left and the woman who was standing there asked me if Vizio was a good brand because her Samsung had broken.

Fuck, it works, but the picture is black and white. I thougth that I had an HDMI cable in the Tivo box. I think I probably screwed up the color plugs or didn't push them all the way in. Color is fine in non-tivo mode.
