Nothing I've ever watched via a streaming service has matched the image quality of broadcast TV, so I prefer a DVR.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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.
