The above is a link showing a graph of Tivo's net new subscribers over the years. I had no idea they were losing subscribers recently...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They were close to losing me and I don't see how they won't lose others--the switch to both HD TiVo and the per month (as opposed to lifetime) service were not working for me.
But if I can squeeze in under the wire and go HD and lifetime (assuming they stick around long enough...) then it's okay. Pricey, but okay. I wouldn't be surprised if they lost people by asking them to pay for the lifetime subscription all over again.
eta: And that's with me thinking they're the best thing since sliced bread.

Huh, I assumed most people used a left-side dock (um, that's left as you're looking at it, correct?). I always thought my right-side one was some sort of odd "hi, I am left-handed and thus crazy backwards all the time" thing

I use a bottom of the screen dock, just like the default. It's small and it's hidey. I can't imagine Leopard's increased space usage would bother me.

Our wings are not tired
I keep my dock on the bottom of the screen but I also run big monitors at high resolution so that I have extra room. Even my laptop screen runs at 1920x1200.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have my dock on the bottom, but now I'm going to try it on the left just to see what all the fuss is about. I predict it will feel weird and I will switch back before the end of the day because I am a creature of habit.
(I also don't like the new Gmail features. I'll probably like them soon, but right now they are strange and offputting.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I keep my dock on the right side, because of the arrangement of my monitors.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, I'm switching the dock from the right to the left (still with auto-hide). Stand by for sound of head exploding.
IORandomQuestionN, Window buttons - graphite; or red, yellow and green? I've used graphite from day one, as the three color ones bug me.

I've never used anything but graphite.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My boss is making a giant poster in Powerpoint (please don't ask me why powerpoint, I can't even fathom it). She is trying to put our University logo in it. It is an eps file. She normally add graphics to things by cutting and pasting them from either an original document, or a previous powerpoint or publisher file she has used (again, mine is not to reason why). She, understandably, cannot do this with these eps files. I showed her the "insert picture" function, which is, incidently, very frustrating to her for an unknown reason. However, when we insert the picture, it is inblisible. I did some googling and it sounds like eps and Microsoft Office products don't play well. Is there any solution? Should I open the eps file in illustrator and change it to some other format? Is there a best format to use in the manner she does?
Thanks!
