Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

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!

Or a yacht. The Windows-L thing will probably work, it's something quick Hubby can do when he's hurrying off to do something. The PawSense default password is "human".
He's started closing the laptop when he has to leave, and the cats will then sit on the closed computer and glare because we've taken their fun away. It might be time to check the Internet history and see if one of them has set up a Facebook account or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm in Excel 2003 and I select File/Send to/Mail recipient. Blah, blah, blah distraction, never send, close Excel, save changes, reopen that spreadsheet.
The whole mail header section is still there: To, CC, BCC, Subject, Attachment...and I can't work out how to make it go away.
I'm about to mail it to myself to see if that gets me out of the loop but that's insane! There must be a way to get that to go away.
(Yeah, emailing it to myself worked. But there must be a better way...)

Anyone have a recommendation on a free site to send large files? I seem to remember sendspace, but any other recs?
Vortex, WOOfiles is pretty good. I got a 500+ MB file up there, no sweat.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I have given up on the iPod Touch, and traded it in for a Palm T|X.
Slightly thicker, same display size and resolution, same WiFi access, plus: now I have my contacts imported, all my notes, all my add-on apps., and all my games. I have stylus input again so I can write at speed and/or doodle, and I can write stuff on my laptop and sync over! Yay!

I just got a BlackBerry. If I set it up with my gmail account, then will the emails sent to gmail only go to the BlackBerry, or will I also still have access to them if I access gmail through the web?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The latter. It's just like checking your gmail on another computer.
