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

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.

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.

Art Crawl!!!

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.

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

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.

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

It wouldn't let me cut/delete (cut does nothing, delete deletes the message), but now I see that if I open the message in its own window I get a "remove" option in the right-click menu.

Huh. I could swear I've done it that way before, but now I have a nifty new (to me) remove button too!

Our wings are not tired

I have a Microsoft bluetooth mouse that I use when I travel and it's been quite good. I'd have to dig up the model number. I also have one of the new Apple Bluetooth keyboards that I also use for travel. The only bummer on it is the lack of a numeric keypad. Other than that it's a great keyboard. I use the wired version for my regular desktop setup.
