Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

And now I'm sorry I didn't get 0609, it's my dad's birthday backwards (they didn't have 0906, I checked)

I clicked "next" until there was no more "next" to click. Call me a completist.

No, I saw it, i just didn't process it. I looked at them all. And of course I was feeling all of this pressure since they had run out last time.

Thanks everyone. You successfully un-paralyzed me.

Yup. There's only so many DC numbers, and it's one of the iconic area codes. Good for the job search since it doesn't force a choice between MD and VA. Even if I end up moving completely out of the area, it seems less regional than a 301 or 703 phone number.

I've had good success with Samsung Lasers. I still have a very old ML-1710 that's a tank and all I had to do to install it in Windows 7 was plug in the USB cable.

I also have a Samsung multifunction duplex network printer that I'm not as happy with because the automatic document feeder for the scanner/fax is finicky. Like it as a printer though, especially for the duplexing.

I have a Samsung laser and I'm quite happy with it except that it's a little picky about paper. It doesn't want to feed some thicker papers without a lot of persuasion. I got it for about $50 on one of the online sales, so I'm not complaining.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't find a google gchat client for Android. I mean, one by google. Am I doing something wrong?

Also, why doesn't the Tab dictionary have android in it? It's missing some weird stuff. Why have Julio and not Julie?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

...a google gchat client for Android. I mean, one by google.

It's called Talk.

Thanks, dcp. An icon I never clicked on.
