Nothing I've ever watched via a streaming service has matched the image quality of broadcast TV, so I prefer a DVR.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Yeah, my standards for image quality are basically "Can I see it?" so really the Smart TV is like gravy on top of gravy for everything.(Although I did notice an improvement when cable upgrades made me hook up the line directly to the TV rather than through the DVR/DVD player.)

Hey. New board.
Yeah, for normal garden variety TV, I'm fine with medium-good quality.

This is me. But, apparently, much worse than even I realized. It came to light when I tried to share something with a friend and he ran from the room.
Sigh. I'm never actually surprised when I discover how low my standards really are.

Hey, does anyone use Screenflow 3?
I've watched a ton of tutorials and read the manual and _still_ cannot master fading an audio clip. If anyone feels proficient, I would be ubergrateful for some help, here, via email, skype...whatever!!

Looks like I really need to get MS Word on my Macbook: how do I do that? What do I look for in the App store?

You have to buy MS Office in order to get Word on your Macbook. I think you might be able to get it from Amazon.
It is not cheap. Are you sure you need Word? Meaning: can Pages or Google Docs do what you need?

I have an Office 365 subscription - I think Microsoft is trying to move everyone over to the subscription model:

Yes, they are, which is fucking annoying. Especially since I could get software at in-house prices.
But, regardless, there's no way I want to pay $100/year for it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Unless you absolutely are required to have Word, I'd go with OpenOffice or GoogleDocs.
