Do you have Word set as your email editor in Outlook?
Yeap. Oh, that's probably why WORD shows up in the CPU/memory tab even though it's not in the process list.

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, from that Wikipedia entry it sounds like "tracks power usage" includes powering down the CPU briefly (or reducing clock speed) in order to reduce power consumption when maximum CPU speed is not needed. (A CPU feature that started out in laptops but I think most all CPUs do that now.)

Thanks, le nubian.
I think I've almost chosen a TV. But it doesn't have DVI input. It has instead 2 component, 2 s-video, 2 composite, 1 RF and 2 HDMI.
Once done I intend to feed it from a DVD player, an HD TiVo, and a Mac Mini. What's the best matchup of source to connection? Will I miss DVI?
You can buy DVI <--> HDMI cables. The signals sent over the wire are the same.
So which device shouldn't I put on HDMI? And what's the next best connection to use?
Mac Mini DVI <-------> TV HDMI
TiVo HDMI <---------> TV HDMI (component will work OK too)
DVD Player ---------> Trash, and watch DVDs from your Mac.

Behave!
Unless of course it is multi-region.
A non-HD DVD player won't be feeding a high enough resolution signal to need HDMI -- component (component? the one with separate RGB cables, not the one that mashes them all into one video cable) is an excellent choice there. Use HDMI for the HDVo (since it's HD) and the Mac (since vid output on Macs is digital by default, which as Scola points out plays fine with HDMI).
Some OEM DVD drives inside of Macs can be unlocked, others can't. In any event, a component connection from your DVD player is fine.
