OK, that TurboScan app, is freaking COOL! Just used it to send a document to the HOA. Figured I'd give it a try instead of the work scanner. It seems to color adjust the light for you. You can adjust the edges. Looks crisp and clean. Not bad for $2!

Gris,
I can help you with one of those. I love me some Hover as a domain registrar. They actually did customer service for me over the fucking phone!
And it was effective and I haven't had to speak to them again in 2 years.

OK, this made me laugh, and I *have* to share. Background. Here at my job, we currently use Oracle calendaring for personal and room scheduling. Its old. Outdated. Nobody really likes it. And apparently costing too much. So OIT (office of information technology) is switching us over to an Exchange server system. I was playing around with it yesterday, and cursing at it, because it feels old and outdated compared to iCal. Today we get a group email informing us about the change, and it starts out with:
This summer OIT will be phasing out the current Oracle Calendar system in favor of a modern Exchange 2010 calendar system.And I snort, because the word "modern" just 2 words before "2010" kinda made me laugh.

OK, to be fair, I will update. I have exchange calendar working in my iCal and on my iOS devices. So, in that, it's LEAGUES ahead of the Oracle system. Even if it is a "modern" 2010 thing.

Hey. New board.
Thanks le nubian. I'll look into Hover.
ETA: I'll probably stick with my lifehacker-inspired choice of 1&1, just because I can transfer for $3.99 instead of $15. If I dislike them for some reason I'll move to Hover. Good to know they have good support.

So my new toy, Idris the iPad 2, wants a word processor. And there are people waiting for me to finish writing the fic I started before my laptop hard drive took the big dirt nap. any recommendations? Is Pages worth $10?

The status is NOT quo.
Pages is awesome.

I've used Pages for iPad and it'a good Word Processor. There are some issues with what will cleanly move between Pages for OS X and Pages for iOS, but nothing major.

Pages is great, but I am not sure I would call it a fully featured word processor (like Word is).
I actually tend to do most of my writing (when using the ipad) on a text program and then I bring it to the computer for formatting.

What is the difference between a text program and a word processor?
