How have people found voice quality on Skype? (Not that you would use it as primary - but in voice only mode to land and cell lines, how do people find it?)
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
skype - great audio quality for me.
I use Connect 360 with my Mac to stream Ahemed TV to my living room TV. It's awesome.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Ahemed TVhuh? what is that?

The status is NOT quo.
Omnis, board policy is that we don't talk directly about television gotten from non-mainstream sources nor link to those sources. Hence "ahem."

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

I'm not too surprised. I pretty much gave up on an iPod ever shipping that was large enough to hold my current selection of media.

I'm curious how the AT&T verse thing goes. I'm debating it here, but it wasn't a huge savings. It was partially to thumb my nose at Time Warner
I think Jon and I are going to do this too. So very sick of TW.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I am cranky. My lovely new laptop is running Vista, which is pretty, but eh. I started to seriously load the business applications today and turns out that the version of Quickbooks I have (2006) isn't compatible. Not a big surprise. I go to Intuit for support and they say it'll probably run okay but they won't support it, and furthermore their payroll stuff won't work. Which I need.
I go to Techsoup, where I usually buy my discounted nonprofit gear, and of course Quickbooks 2008 isn't available, though it was earlier this year and I didn't buy it. D'oh! I could buy it online from reputable dealers for about $350 or questionable ones for $300. Which would negate the $300 discount I got that induced me to buy the damn laptop in the first place.
I could run Windows Virtual PC, but it would run on XP or Vista Business, but not on Home Premiere or whatever that I've got.
I could downgrade to XP entirely, but am dubious about doing that to a machine whose hardware has only run off Vista, and which didn't come with restore disks, so I had to create my own and I'm not sure how that would shake down with reinstalling Vista should XP fail.
Which leaves me with the prospect of doing a dual boot, just for the purposes of running my stupid accounting software, eating up a bunch of my hard drive space which was another inducement to buying the thing in the first place.
Grump.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Liese, did you try running Quickbooks 2006 in XP compatibility mode?
