I got my husband the new Microsoft Zune for X-mas and he loves it
He had an iPod just like mine, but he has been wanting the Zune. I got it for him and he loves it. He even took it to work with him LOL
I bought mine at Dollar General but sm
you have to ask for it. They keep it in the office. I use it for walking my dogs. I think Wal-Mart probably has it, too, maybe in the auto department.
Microsoft Natural Ergonomic
I use the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 v1.0. It is awesome!
Yep. Think someone said there's a patch for this at the Microsoft site. Haven't done it yet. n

Laptop
Make sure your modem is the default for your s/w program. If not you may need to reinstall your driver. Otherwise do another system restore to before you did your system restore (or a new modem may be in order ).
Laptop
Does your laptop run smoothly with, say a splilt keyboard pluged in instead of typing on the laptop itself? My Sony was slow. When I connected my split keyboard it was like there was a delay between typing and the words actually appearing. It was very annoying. A laptop would be great, as long as it ran smoothly.
Thanks
Laptop for my sweetie
My hubby is very hard to buy for, no clothing, no this and no that, likes to get it himself but I do have an idea what he would love and that is a laptop. I want to maybe get him one for Christmas. I just introduced him to the internet since our marriage in 2000 and he lovesssss it. He has so much downtime with his present job (long distance truck driver) and spents time just waiting to be called back to return home that I know he would enjoy. Never had 1 personally so anyone there that can tell me any items I need to check for, how do you connect if no internet service in your hotel room, etc. Thanks so much and I am sure he would thank you too.
get a laptop? just a thought. nm

Can someone please help me with laptop question? sm
For some reason I'm getting a message "Modem cannot connect, your modem cannot connect. There is no modem installed on your computer.
now when i go into modem helper and it check to make sure things are ok, that checks out fine. i don't understand that.
it all started because the icons on my desktop were huge and the windows on the internet were too big, so i did something like a system restore type thing. evere since i did that, it's telling me that there's no modem installed. can anyone help me?
thanks so much!
What's in your CD player?
So, what's everyone listening to these days? I heard a band the other day and downloaded their new CD.
Check out Grace Potter and the Nocturnals' This Is Somewhere. I must say, I have not stopped listening since! Rock'n'roll with a bluesy feel, good songwriting, awesome vocals, a solid rhythm section, a Hammond B-3, and a guitarist who plays a Telecaster...what more could you want?
What are you listening to these days?
no, it is a wav player

Coffee - laptop or desk top?

Love my Microsoft 4000 keyboard, but do not drip even 2 drops of water in it - nm

what do you think about Polaroid DVD player recorders?
would you buy one broke off of ebay and then try to get the company to take it back by saying you don't have a receipt because you received it as a gift?
I grab my CD player and jump around to good music...
as it really does help! It gets my heart pumping and totally wakes me up. I've been doing that for years. Just put your headphones on and go!
Treadmill 2 hrs a day. I use a portable DVD player and walk to a movie each day. nm

Closest we have is the fiddle player for Brad Paisley, but the VP
graduated from my HS too.
He basically tackled another player and just held him down...and then punched him in the gut a few t
stupid on his part but he got a 15-yard penalty for it...he won't get fined
video
I loved the video too - almost made me cry. . we are making plans to rescue a dog soon - within the next month. . can't wait to have a new "friend".
If you have not seen this video on SM
the Polish gymnasts it is worth your time. Hope you can see this.

your video
That reminds me of the scene where Jerry Maguire and (what ever Renees name was in the movie) were watching their video right after the ceremony. He was rubbing his forehead and looking quite disturbed.
I tease my boyfriend about doing that if we ever get married. We are middle aged (supposing we will live to be really old) :) and he has never been married!
Glad you had a fun time on your first anniversary!
You can't see this in the video but....sm
my hubby yawned during the ceremony. I didn't realize it because he "bit into it" but one of his groomsmen saw his jaws tighten and could tell what was happening. He did have a bachelor party that got a little wild, but my DH doesn't drink so it was not like he was out partying all night long. It has been over 20 years and I still tease him about it.
Best cat video
This was one of the best cat videos I've seen. Made me smile.

how can y'all tell anything from an 18 second video? nm

video renats
Can anyone recommend something good to rent for the weekend? Last movie I saw was Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith. I like chick flicks, nothing violent. 
video rentals
I loved The Illusionist, I would recommend it highly. I am going to try to watch Marie Antoinette this weekend, but not sure if I'm going to get around to it. Flyboys was also good as was The Guardian. I wouldn't categorize them as chick flicks per se but I liked them.
Rescued dog video!
Don't know if you all saw this, but what a happy ending!

No but the video clips do tell about him going
to the hospital.
Maybe she was laughing because she thinks it is ridiculous too. She said she did it but didn't do it on purpose. Why would she tell her supervisor if it was not an accident? Doesn't make any sense.
I have the iPod video
I have lots of movies on mine!
I saw him in that car on the video when he was talking about it SM
and he referred to her as a B***h. Can you just imagine what her family has gone through and continues to go through? He needs to grow up and pay up.
How sad. There was a video/song
regarding something just like this, sang by a very young boy. I can't recall it but it was so touching. Cat may have access to it. I bet she will post it..
Another fun video game sm..
Is Wii Fit. It's the first video game I've ever bought in my life. It has yoga, some strength exercises, aerobics (running in place). I live in the South, and it's nice to exercise in my house with the air conditioning.
100% ban on all video games
For the last five years there has been a ban of video games in my house. My husband and my son were turning into flippin zombies. We started going on hikes in the mountains instead and now participate in extracurricular activities at the high school and volunteer.
TV has not been banned yet, as I think there would be a mutiny....
Video tape him.........I will keep saying it - sm
I said it before, a picture is worth a thousand words. You video tape him on one of his rampages and the Sheriff will definitely believe you and get off his fat butt and arrest him. Obviously try to do this w/o him knowing you are doing it....candid camera style.
I don't have a video camera right now....sm
because ours was stolen. I will have to invest in another one though. Good idea!
An inspiring video
Turn up the volume and enjoy. This is inspiring.

From the video, yes hard to tell if real
but it was reported on the news by people who were backstage that she was upset.
Just does not look good for her even if she was joking.
I was thinking of a video monitoring
where you could perhaps view on your t.v. or something. Don't know how your mom would feel about her activities being viewed constantly, but it offers video and audio, and they have other products available. When I searched I put something about 'monitor yourself', and looked like there were some other good hits too. Hope this helps, and good luck!

Googled the video today
I don't see what the big deal is with the video. It showed him hanging for a few seconds and really was all over the place.
It's a video from a news channel
That shows how crooks can use a method called bumping to open DEADBOLT doorlocks in a couple of seconds.
The crook has some sort of key made, they stick it in your lock, rap on it with a screwdriver or small mallet, and bingo, it's like the key was made for your lock!
made up video - YOU'RE VERY ILL...
please run to have your head examined.........
selfish little thing, aren't you? You confirmed what I've thought since I saw you posting as *nn*
I have the 60 GB iPod video and love it
and have tons of albums and videos on it. Some of my favorite ones are Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, Oasis, Coldplay, Goo Goo Dolls, The Fray, Dave Matthews, etc. I always take my iPod to the gym with me. I sometimes listen to my it in my car also since the stereo in my car has a plug in for iPods and other MP3 players, but I usually just listen to my XM satellite radio while on the road. I love their new Starbucks channel on the XM cafe.
It was beautiful video - thanks for sharing nm

Romey, how touching the video, I just
loved Sophia, have sent her photo out to many.
I have an 80 gig iPod video and love it
I couldn't live without mine!
recently got an IPOD video - how do
I organize my music on it? I recently added Christmas music, and instead of taking it off, I wanted to put it in its own folder for next year. Does anyone know how to do that?
Drat, there goes again, cant play video(EOM)
,
I think most don't but check out this cute video

Too cute. Cat who loves water.
Has anyone watched the video of the 7yo who stole
his grandmother's Durango and went on a joy ride?
From the interview, I would say that kid already has some serious issues with authority. It's sad but if something isn't done about this kid, he will be a future resident of some prison.
Your video is a good idea
I know that the bassets we've had are really prone to be lazy :), but I don't know them to do anything like what you're saying. I think the video is the best way to show the vet what is going on.
Let us know what his vet thinks it is!
Tech/video question
I have been trying to open a video of a speech my nephew gave and cannot get my computer to open it. It asks what program to open it with (or if want to do a Internet search), and I have tried both. The Internet thing didn't come up with anything I found useful, and my own computer only has Windows Media Player, which did not work.
My sister says it works on hers ... it does not even ask what to open; simply opens and plays. She cannot tell what program it is using.
The file says it's a MP-4 auto file if that helps.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
