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!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Bah. I figured as much.

The problem is, I don't want to upgrade to HD unless I can upgrade *everything* at once, and I can't afford to do that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I'm just feeling salty about not wanting to spend $300+ on a new Tivo just because.

Our wings are not tired

I'm looking forward to my TivoHD arriving in another week or so. I picked one up on the last Woot Off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The amount of times my TiVo failed to change the station--it's almost worth upgrading just so I know only TV Guide issues make me miss a show.

Le Nubian, thanks. Since I don't hesitate to bash MS when they screw up, let me say this patch seems to work fine.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Oh god. A shop down the road from me has Apple Air laptops with £300 off Apple's price as they're having trouble selling them.

Must. Not. Buy.
