Godfuckingdammit. It managed to download the entire inbox and THEN get the error, so now it won't actually, you know, download new e-mail. I don't know what is going on. I was so close. So close.

Ahh, sorry, I've only ever used a cable modem that was supplied by the provider.
Unrelated, I'm looking for a small boombox or micro-stereo for the nursery(!). Something that'll play CDs as well as as iPod hookup would be nice. For the iPod, an aux input is fine; I don't need a proper dock. Any suggestions?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
For the kids' room we just have an old pair of computer speakers and plug the iPod into the headphone jack. Lo-tech, but it works.

I feel so geeky and up-to-the-minute: I ordered my iPhone 4s last night, and Pete is on the phone with the (very nice!) AT&T person ordering his and changing my plan to a family plan.
This means Pete will start texting. And possibly stop complaining about people texting instead of calling.

The complaining is a FEATURE, not a bug.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
This means Pete will start texting.
Awesome.
And possibly stop complaining about people texting instead of calling.
Even better.
I am using TimeMachine while setting up my new computer. It is mid-process but seems like it is actually working. Whew. Now I just hope I backed up recently enough. My new backup will be wireless and still Time Machine. I learned my weaknesses.
