I downloaded the one you told me to, parked it in the right subdirectory, and Vista’s “driver finder” — when told where to look, wouldn’t accept it.

2. The Apple TV, which I got my brother last Christmas, really is unbelievable.
3. When people ask me why I love baseball rather than, say, football, I always tell them to watch that scene in Field of Dreams.
4. Yeah, the support process is confusing. I’ve got to call support and get them out for a new fan, but I can’t figure out if I bought onsite support or not. And if not, what it would cost. And whether that would cover Maine or not. And whether the fact that Windows is no longer on the machine matters or not. And so on. The lesson? Support’s a tough problem, however you attack it.
5. Google Docs is excellent and my preference, but folks looking for the rich client might want to give OpenOffice 3.0 a look. The performance – at least on Ubuntu – is excellent. ~3 seconds to open a document.

I need to watch the Ken Burns thing. I dunno, 1,000 minutes of David McCullogh (I suspect he must narrate, he narrates them all, right?) and the dramatic panning of black and white photographs …..ZZZZZ

“For the Love of the Game” is a good mix of chick flick and baseball movie.

There is foliage south of CT?
