Yesterday, I started assembling my new computer, and so far, so good! I've got Windows XP installed and am currently formatting the other 1TB HD (formatting these huge-ass HDs is wicked slow!).

It's almost been going TOO well... The only glitch thus far has been a bad floppy drive cable. Surely, something else will go wrong any time now....

In other news, the entire channel lineup of my RCN cable tv changed yesterday, but the TiVo didn't pick up on it in time. I flipped on the TV at 8:30 expecting to watch SCC, and got MTV Jamz instead (Chuck was similarly screwed). By the time I reran guided setup to get the correct channels, it was after 9pm, so no Heroes for me either. I'm doing a lot of ahemming this AM.

This is worth a read: Lessons Learned from a Hacked Gmail Account

You can get Heroes on Hulu, Jon, dont' forget, no need for ahemming (er, unless you want to *keep* it...if you just want to watch it, I mean)

I ahem onto my mac mini which is connected directly to my TV. Does Hulu do full screen?

Yes, and if you have a good broadband connection the quality is very good, although I'm not sure how well it would translate to a TV screen.

Cool. I'll give it a try... next time.

Hubby runs Firefox 3.0.3 on Vista, and whenever he opens his computer, he gets a box that wants to connect to Broadband. He has turned off his wireless connection, and this box also pops up on a regular basis while he's working on the Net on a wired connection. He wants to get rid of this box. What options should he be looking at?

If it's the same problem I had, it's actually IE that's sending out the dialogue boxes, and he has to go into IE and tell it to stop trying to connect. I can give you the proper tabs to look in when I get home, but it's somewhere under network connections, I think.

Thanks, Sue.

Jon, if you get the cable station G4 - Heroes repeats on that station about a bajillion times per week.

I've already seen the ep, but thanks.
