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!

Ah. I failed to give an update, eh? Turns out my griping at the universe was effective, because my vendor turned up a downloadable copy of the 2008 Quickbooks I needed for, like, two hours. I got in right before it sold out, and even managed to upgrade to the 3 license version for only $99. So I'm good (presumably, once I get the thing actually downloaded; I spent most of that day wrestling with antiquated fax equipment to get my registration reauthorized.) now and am very happy. Thanks for the advice, though.
Isn't it supposedly better to buy some playstation thingy over a blu-ray player? (Being uninformed about game things I have no idea which one is the one you should get.) The reason has something to do with updates which the gaming thing does and the regular bluray player will not.
I don't know about regionality and Blu-Ray players, but the updated version of the Philips deck that a bunch of Buffistas have is very easy to make region-free, and upconverts to 1080p. (And reads PAL, NTSC, SECAM, Divx, etc out of the box. And is cheap as hell.)
I think it's this one, except that mine is silver, not black.
But it doesn't say it plays Blu-Ray discs. Am I missing something?
Oh, no it doesn't. (Sorry, I was thinking if you had and HDTV and a DVD library, an upconverting DVD player would be cheaper and almost as useful as a Blu-Ray. But it wouldn't play Blu-Ray discs.)
And I really hope at some point the Blu-Ray consortium buys the right to the name HD-DVD, because I feel silly typing Blu-Ray over and over again.

I'm hoping maybe the xbox360 will have an affordable B-R attachment like they did for the HD-DVD.

That is why we are getting a PS3. ita, send Pete mail and he'll give you the full explanation of why getting a PS3 is the way to go for picking up a Blu-Ray.
