Re: Need desk chair recommendations - 3 months ago

The Herman Miller Aeron seems to always be the answer. I'd say no matter what you buy make sure you can return it. I got a nice chair from Office Depot that ended up being uncomfortable after 5 or 6 hours of sitting. I was glad I could take it back even though I already put it together. They charge like $30 to put them together so I got them to waive that fee on the next chair I bought since I al

Re: Xmltv source? - 7 months ago

I also use HDHomeRun with Plex and my guide data is there. Did you read something that it is going away? Maybe you just need to reset up your tuner? I'm going to mess with mine right now because it appears I only have half my channels setup.

Re: Best old Mac to run OS9/Tiger? - 10 months ago

I have a G4 powerbook I'm not really using. I was using it not long ago to rip Vinyl and tapes in audacity but I really don't need it. I've been kicking myself for spending so much on it and getting an intel macbook like 15 months later and not using the powerbook much after that. It's been almost 20 years. I should forgive myself lol Anyway PM me if you're interested

Re: What is the best OSX Torrent App? - 1 year ago

Quotemacphanatic QuoteOmbligo I've used qBittorent for years with no issues. same. I think the general internet consensus is qBittorent is best. People that have used clients for a long time no doubt have their bias to what they are used to. If someone who is looking/needing a new client I would say move to qBittorent.

Thank you everyone! I've been absent and I apologize for saying thank you nearly two months later but better late than never! Solidly in my 40s now doing that daily grind of working and having a bunch of school aged children. Life is good and I hope life is great for all of you as well!

Re: "Gaming" PC - 2 years ago

Wow thank you. It seems decent enough but its certainly out of my budget. I'll just have to wait for things to calm down. I should have built when I could have.

Good point. I found a Switch Lite for $150. Asked if he wanted that and he said he wanted a computer. He's only got about $100 so hr has little options unless I bear the cost.

Excellent suggestions. I'll look around. Thank you both!
