is there a word/excel type of app for the iPhone? I couldn't find any, but eyes are a bit tired.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Apparently Dell is jumping on the tiny, very cheap Linux laptop bandwagon: $299 Dell E overshadows laptop cacophony with possible August release
Also,
Meanwhile, Dell throws down another pricing gauntlet, adding the option of choosing a 128GB solid-state drive (SSD) for most of its laptop lines. The company’s slipping the quick, energy-sipping SSDs into its Latitude, XPS, Alienware, and Precision notebooks. The big news: Dell will only charge $600 more than the price of a notebook with an old-timey spinning disk inside, undercutting the entire industry in one swoop. You go, Dell!

I just got an email that Comcast has been hacked - what's the name of the website where I can see if this is true?
Because I did online customer service in which I gave out my account number etc. But not my credit card number. Do I need to worry?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Almost certainly phishing, sumi -- announcements like that aren't sent by email, pretty much ever, precisely because they're so often spoofed.
(They may be borrowing some plausibility from the fact that people might remember that it got in the news that Comcast's home page was hacked several months back, but that was a "put dumb graffiti on the site" attack, not a "steal the customer database" attack. And, anyway, it was months ago.)

The email wasn't from Comcast - it came in on a email list. (But I suppose it could have been part of a Trojan Horse tyope thing.)

In that case, I'd assume it's someone being "helpful" -- no need to worry about it any more than about Obama being a Muslim.

Thanks to assurances here, I bought a refubed macbook pro this morning. It has 12x the diskspace, not to mention umpteen times more speed and memory. I expect I'll be pleasantly surprised at the relative performance.
And then have to shell out for something more than dialup when that becomes so clearly the bottleneck....

Is there a good local source for buying inexpensive HDMI cables? Or is the internet my friend in that regard?
