Re: Microsoft's exciting new product - 9 years ago

Friday night I was talking to a friend who does windows computers with accounting systems for small business. He is die hard windows. I was talking about all the hardware failures Microsoft has had, I mentioned the Tablet Pc as an example. It was way ahead of anything out there at the time. Microsoft should have run with it but they kind of let it linger and abandoned it. Another one was the

Re: The BIG Reorganization hits MicroSoft... Ballmer'ing it Old School - 9 years ago

the biggest problem with the reorganization is that Balmer did not resign. Microsoft is loosing many key people because Balmer won't step aside. They know there is not place for advancement at Microsoft so they leave for greener pastures.

New Time Capsule comments - 9 years ago

Picked up a new Time capsule to replace a previous generation that had been acting flaky. I do not have any Ac devices yet so I can't test that. It seems to connect a little faster than my old one and speed is good. Wireless time machine backups still seem to be extremely slow. MY only complaint is that I have a black cat. As soon as he saw the new obelisk on my desk he just had to rub ag

Re: edumacate me about digital TV-TiVo-cable service - 9 years ago

You would need either the hd cable box from RNC or a hd Tivo with rental cable card from RNC. From what I remember some cable systems use a different cable tuning system. You may need a tuning adapter. If you are an existing customer you may get a Multi user discount for service. Depending on when you bought your original Tivo your life time may be transferable. Early on with tivo life time

Re: I-5 bridge north of Seattle collapses - 9 years ago

Eastern washington doesn't count. The liberal Seattle Tacoma area has the majority of the population and votes so the conservative rest of the state has no voice. Our Govoner spoke at a press conference last night. When the reporters started asking alot of specific question about replacing the bridge his only answer was "this should be a joyfull day because no one was killed" ????
