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!
Cool. Thanks. I'm suspicious of something that cheap, but happy.
Other things I'll need-wireless keyboard and mouse. What reccomendations do you guys have? Go Apple? Microsoft?
I'm trying to decide if a mouse is even a good idea--but if I were to go trackpad, it'd need to be one like on the powerbook with the two-finger scroll. I think I've given up on the trackball. The only other solution that doesn't require a flat smooth surface is an airmouse, pretty much, and I haven't heard good things about those.
Not having a Wii, and wanting the possibility of typing a fair amount of text, I don't think that's my solution.
Went to lunch with a friend and told her about the tivo/vcr thing and she says that not only is all tv going to be digital come 2009 it's also all going to be HD?
Is that right? Or is she misunderstanding?
And me, with my newish non-hd ready tv - what do I need to do?

I read this as non-Jewish and wondered how the heck you know what religion your TV is.

Easy - you check out what it's doing on Friday nights.
She's wrong (or, more likely, misinformed).
I've heard reports of Best Buy, Circuit City, etc employees using the digital switchover to push HDTVs on people, but digital and HD are NOT the same thing. If you have a color TV w/ a remote control, the chances of it not being able to receive a digital signal are slim to none.
Well, I already have digital cable.
And whew!
Thank you.
The 2009 deadline is for over-the-air broadcasts only, it doesn't apply to cable. And most people with cable are already receiving digital signals anyway.
Nobody has wireless keyboards and mice?
In Exchange/Outlook is there a way to delete a message's attachments without deleting the message? I want to keep the content of the message available in Outlook, but I've saved the attachments off to their proper places.
