They've quit and unquit a couple times now. I hate hospital.

Does anybody have any recommendations for a good cordless phone? Our old ones were crapping out, and we replaced them with a Uniden phone/answering machine combo. From day one, this phone has performed like complete and utter crap. The handset has had terrible reception, and many times when we make or receive calls, the person on the other end is almost inaudible, especially if they are on certain kinds of business multi-line phones (the ones used in hospitals, in particular).

We need a new, good, cordless phone. Somebody please help.

thanks omni - that's cool. Safari on the iPhone is pretty buggy :(

We bought this [link] in January 2006, and it's been pretty much fine (they don't make that specific one anymore, but you could look at the brand). It's a little wonky when we're talking with my mother's cordless phone for some reason. But, you know, cheap. I used the ratings/comments at Amazon to choose.

I appear to have solved my Safari crashing problems on my iPhone for now by powering off the iPhone completely and booting it back up. That's - hold down the sleep button for ten seconds and follow the slide prompt to kill the power, then hold the sleep button again to restart the thing.

It's also possible to kill all open browser windows by holding the main button for about 5 seconds, but it doesn't always fix the problem.

Strangeness I've seen includes the inability to click text boxes to type, iPod music stopping whilst surfing (that one is a constantly reoccuring bug and is Really Annoying) and the unit hanging once whilst trying to reply to an email. They're not end-of-the-world bugs, as restarting only takes 30 seconds - but I've only had the thing a week now and I've noticed all these things. It's like using Windows.

I'm lusting after a flat-screen monitor, but I'm wondering if my Matrox Graphics Millennium G200 AGP video card can handle it. Are flat-screens fussy about what systems they work with?

iMac question. I have one of the old-style all-in-one-pastel-package types (this is how hi-tech I am, despite working in QA - I don't know what kind of iMac I have) and the disc drive is acting wacky. At first, it didn't seem to be working at all. I made the mistake of pushing the disc all the way in and it was stuck - I even got it in so that it could be played, but it wouldn't eject. I managed to get it out by manipulating a blank disc until part of the one that was in came partly out. Now it's making the proper noises I would expect when I try to put a disc in, but it's not grabbing it to pull it in. Does this mean the disc drive is frelled, or is there something I can try (aside from rebooting, shutting it down, etc. which I've tried) before I assume to worst.

Not really. The G200 should have enough vram (8 mb) for a normal sized monitor. We swapped out many crts with flat screens at work. What size are you thinking of?

Does the CD drive ave a pinhole? Perhaps pushing a straightened paper clip into the pinhole will move the mechanism into full receive position.

Worse Case: [link]

You might even find one less expensive with a bit of looking.
