'Serenity'
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!
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.
Just cut/delete them and save the message.
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.
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!
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.

But my understanding is that you don't have to have an HD TV, just be able able to receive a digital signal (I also have a newish non-HD TV and was planning to just get the box, as I have no cable)
