I figured it was something like that. sigh
Thanks ... it is kind of reassuring to know I haven't completely lost it.

Yes, Excel has limits on how many characters can be in a cell. I think you might be able to find the limit if you google.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I asked the resounding stupid question here about "Where is Google chat?" on my Android devices. I have been using it a bit clumsily on my tablet (sorry, Perkins), but I just went into it on my phone and it only lets choose my primary phone's GMail address, even though I have three installed (G+ points to a different one, for instance). On the tablet, I get a choice. Am I again missing something obvious?
I know I'm missing something obvious in that I can't get it not to vibrate to notify me of new mail. I swear I've been into the right settings to turn it off, but still three pulses when new K9 mail comes in, and a couple other notification services. Bothers me.

Other beef: Printing. What's with that? My HP C6200 is too old to print to? That's not fair. That strikes me as a lack of willingness to support, rather than a straight up technical limitation. That's my last remaining serious beef with the tablet, that I have to go through a computer to print anything I generate off of it.

netflix is spinning off its dvd rental side into a new company called Qwickster. Netflix itself will be only streaming media.
I don't know what this will do to those of us sharing accounts.
I don't know what netflix is doing anymore.

That reminds me, I should cancel my Netflix account.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
What services are you using to consume media these days, Jess?

Heh - Ethan's job, mostly. If we've gone through everything on the Tivo, there's always a stack of DVDs to watch. I can't remember the last time I fired up Netflix streaming, and I haven't seen a DVD from them in months.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
So, is Netflix's only strong point w/r/t DVD rentals the fact that they have a large catalog? Because -- and I know I'm not the first person to say this -- I can rent Thor from RedBox for a buck.
But the flip side, I assume, is that RedBox is just new(ish) stuff? So if I wanted, say, S1 of a TV show, Netflix Qwickster would be the way to go?
