Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

And me, with my newish non-hd ready tv

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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Easy - you check out what it's doing on Friday nights.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Just cut/delete them and save the message.

Missing in action since 2002...

I do have a wireless Logitech mouse for my laptop and it works fine. Anything from any of the major manufacturers should be fine these days. If it were 1999 I'd worry about quality, but not now.
