My new HP has a tv card in it. Now, I don't much care about tv and don't watch it except for occasional basketball games. But my wife wasn't happy about not having one in S.D. So, I figured, "big monitor, may as well get tv card." In the olden days,… more »

Soooo ... My actual job morphed from nothing much to do into chained-to-desk 24/7 (except when driving like madman to next location). Yikes! No time to blog -- but lots of things to comment on. I discovered by accident that the updater applet… more »
