"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I have a Tivo question. when I press the "guide" button on the remote, it changes the channel to 48 and up pops the guide feature.

This is a new "feature" of the button. It just used to pop up the guide WITHOUT changing the channel. Is the remote going on the fritz or do I just need to change batteries?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Wow, I never heard of it doing that-- better check with the TiVoCommunity website and find out if it's happening with other units?

I came by this morning because my Mom was saying how much she could use one of those GPS mapping systems/guide for the car. It had better hve VERY SIMPLE controls for her to use, though -- does anybody have experience with different kinds and how easy they are to use?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've only used them on rental cars. (But I'm tempted to buy one soon.)

Aren't Garmin and TomTom both easy to use? Also, would a larger display be easier to figure out? Would spoken directions be of help to your mom?

Questions... too many questions...

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Tom Tom's are damn cool. And apparently quite soothing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Tom Tom's are damn cool.

Toms are pretty cool, too.

Someday I'll have one for my very own!

Does anybody have any elderly relatives who are using one?

Our wings are not tired

I picked up a Garmin Street Pilot for my niece for her graduation gift. I think it was the c340. It's a touch screen interface and appeared to be pretty straightforward.

information libertarian

This would probably be the right thread to note that over dinner tonight mr. flea said he wants to go down to the Mother of All Malls on Friday night, to see the people lined up/buying their iPhones.

Not to buy one ourselves, mind you. Just to see the people getting theirs.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I can so see mr. flea doing this. (He should take pictures).
