The computer seems like a pretty reasonable price to me, but I haven't been shopping anytime recently.

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!
Yes, you need a router. I think that integrated wifi just means that the mechanism is part of the computer as opposed to a card that you plug in to a slot. It's worth it to not have to be bothered with the card sticking out, IMHO
Thanks guys.
Once you have the router set up, it's really easy to set up the tivo. It looks for the signal, asks for the password, beeps a few times, and you're set.
oh, also. Any ideas how to open a Word 2007 doc if you're stuck with Word 2003? My mother sent me something, and despite my trying to talk her through the "save as", it's not getting through. Ideas?
Try this: Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats
It worked for me.

Oh my. This is embarrassing: [link]
pops in to wave... hey leNubian (because the last time I asked a job related question you wondered if I work for the craxy) - I just got spoken to for language in a program, specifically using the word 'orphan'. Apparently, the person who is upset has adopted and she is horrified that we are using the term in this manner.
"...for me "orphan" refers to those who don't have families to call their own, not to meetings that happen regularly. ...- it made my jaw drop because it hit that emotional button we all have in regard to family!"
Just in case anyone's not amused enough by other things.
I can't imagine what I would say in a similar situation, Sox. "I'm sorry you're offended by common terminology."? "I would change it but unfortunately that's what they're called."? "Get used to it."?
