Yeah. At the moment, iTunes is on the non-responsive computer, and I'm entertaining wild ideas about capturing all the stuff I have on cassette tape that I don't want to lose.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Gotcha. In that case, Audacity with LAME will work just fine. (And it'll do great with the capture jobs as well.)

LAME is not a good acronym if you want to promote the idea that your program is useful. Just sayin'.

I have thought this for many years. Somehow, they don't listen to my snarky brainwaves.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Our current TV was found by me literally on top of a dumpster piled high with leftovers after a church rummage sale.

Bah - went and picked up a DLink router at lunchtime (802.11n, on the overwhelming recs of the hive mind) and the damn thing won't even turn on. Dead like a dead thing that is dead. So it's back to Best Buy to exchange it for one that works tomorrow.
(DLink v Belkin V Netgear v Linksys? I've had good luck with Linksys routers in the past, but they're far and away the most expensive brand on the shelves.)

I have had a terrible time with Linksys of late. The last time I got a linksys router I had to return two of them before I got one that worked at all. The first one dropped the WAN connection every 10 minutes or so, the replacement started smoking after a few minutes, the second replacement worked alright, but still dropped the WAN connection every few days.
My dad had trouble with a Belkin.
In both cases we ended up with a Netgear router and they have worked great.
My BIL has had trouble with DLink, but he's always tweaking his equipment so I think he'd have trouble with any brand.

Apparently there was water in one of the lines on the roof. It has now been replaced and all my HD channels have returned. Huzzah!

I have only owned Linksys after a Dlink cable modem did a bad thing years ago.

We were generally not pleased with our DLink.
