Has anyone purchased a DTV converter box yet? My mother is in need of one or two, and I was wondering about particular models? Also, any luck with indoor antennaes?

We got our DTV converter back in May from Radio Shack. I don't know the brand, it cost about $70 before the $40 govt coupon. We're still on an inside powered antenna that sits on top of the converter. Our signals are screwed up by mountains and local powerlines, but we get nearly everything plus the digital channels. (We're quite enamored of the World/MhZ channel. Those German and Sicilian detective shows are great, plus the Russian musicals are hysterical.)

So I was gonna get the DW an Apple wireless keyboard and mouse for Christmas, but I checked her (older) iMac and it doesn't have Bluetooth. Do I get a Bluetooth USB adapter thingy and the Apple accessories or get a USB wireless keyboard and mouse (like this: [link]

This might be a Genius Bar question, but maybe the hivemind will know. OS-X 10.5.5, Mail application. At some point the pop mail account got wanky, and it shows items that are in my INBOX that I have previously deleted. When I try to open them, they come up blank. When I try to delete them (again) they grey out, but stay in the list. Many of the items have been deleted from the e-mail server. I can't even move them to another folder, just to get them out of the INBOX. I'm guessing there is some kind of directory somewhere that it seems to remember "oh you had this message, but I can't pull it up". Is there a clean way of rectifying this?

Depending on what DW does, that might not be an issue. The keyboard you linked to looks to be a full sized keyboard, so I'd lean towards that.

My job requires me to edit web pages in Dreamweaver. I do not have Dreamweaver on my computer. The computer that does have Dreamweaver is upstairs in another office. I am kinda lazy.
Is there any sort of web-based thing that I can use to edit web pages (simple html only, I don't need to do any messing with style sheets), like, the Google Docs of web pages?
Signed, I know I said I hated the CMS but people, this is so much worse. I have to save html documents to a temp drive and then EMAIL the web editor, who moves them to the real drive and makes them live. One pixel at a time, apparently.
