"do you have any idea how good it feels not to have a monthly phone bill?" That's why I'm looking. I got slammed by my current land line company. I'm done with them. I have Earthlink cable, so I just need to set this up. Thanks for the support . . .

VOIP . . . oy! - 15 years ago

I'm trying to figure out which company to go with. Looking at lots of comparisons, but very confusing . . . Sunrocket seems to have the best prices, but people say "you get what you pay for". Also looking at other companies. Any recommendations? Links to other threads I'm not finding? Thanks muchly . . .

Re: A buddy's son decided to "color" his MacBook screen with a pen - 15 years ago

Agree with Chas_m . . . completely. I remember those "no touch zones, or death" when I was a kid. DON'T use magic eraser. It's great for the sink, etc. Love it. Which is why it will DESTROY the screen. Try things made for lcd screen cleaning only. More than lkely, it will need to be replaced.

Re: Do I have the flu? - 15 years ago

For those that are in cold climates, as I am, use a humidifier. When the body dries out, more mucus is produced. Not less. It gives the impression that you have too much fluids. For me, I get severe headaches, lots of drip, sore throat, etc. I used to think I was sick all the time. As long as that humidifier is running at night, we're happy. Come spring, it will be put away and the win

Re: Do I have the flu? - 15 years ago

You don't. Flu knocks you out in about 24 hours. You can't even think about dragging yourself out of bed. You probably have a virus (cold). Treat symptoms and let it go away.

Re: Portable mini speakers? - 15 years ago

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm willling to hear more. Based on the Logitech V20 idea, I found the Altech Lansing XT1. It actually has better reviews than the newer XT2. Anyone have opinions on the Altec?

Portable mini speakers? - 15 years ago

Hello helpful ones, I tend to use my tibook (soon to be replaced, I hope) as a desktop at home. I decided that I really need some outside speakers for files that are just too low in volume to hear with the cover closed. I have extremely little space to put anything, so I have been looking at the smallest mini speakers. While I do care about audio fidelity, I know I'm not going to get ama

"In the Terminal, 'diff' will do it. $ diff -r folder1 folder2 This will itemize for you exactly which files/folders are only in folder1 and not in folder2 and vice versa." What would the line be to compare 2 folders on different drives? Example, the folder on my internal drive and the backup on an external . . . Thanks

I have done extensive work in full body costumes. It is NOT fun when a kid decides to attack. Your vision is extremely limited. You have to really guess on how to protect yourself. I was in a 12 foot tall full body marioinette and some kid tried to tip me over. On a full dance floor. I had to see the doctor a couple of times from the twist in my back fighting the potentially damaging fa

It's all relative. 5K in US is poor. 5K in some other country is rich. It's more of a world perspective, which many people in the US don't have.
