One of our departments just purchased a 60" HP plotter for a Mac system. The only software they got with it was the drivers. When I worked in a photo lab 10 years ago, we had to use a separate RIP program to send items to the printer. This printer is on our LAN. Every time they try to send a

I have TIVO and just recently added my second box. What you heard is correct and wrong. If the interface is the same as mine (No HD not available in our area.) Tivo's are set to erase programs after a set time to free up room on your DVR. You can mark programs to keep until you delete them ea

FYI, there is a "Save until I delete" setting for what is recorded. I got one last year for free (one of the output ports was bad so I just used the RF connection). I never wanted or needed a subscription (my viewing choices are simple and I know how to program it to record when I want it to),

I don't know much about Series 3 but I love my Series 2 DirecTV TiVo's but there was a dawg of a system upgrade that came down the pike a few months ago. DTV controls the upgrades on these units and they are slow about it since they stopped selling DTiVO's in favor of their own machine which is w

Nope it is just to keep room on the system (Their hour numbers are at the lowest quality setting, so an 80 hour TIVo is really about 30 at highest quality recording a lot like the old VHS tapes that were advertised as 6 hour but really were 2 hour.) As you put more and more programs on it, the

Re: [CGUYS] USB Turntable?

I can think of plenty of up-tempo music for exercising, but I can't imagine what kind of audio book would be suitable! I find a really good audio book a lot more engrossing than music and makes the time doing unpleasant tasks (like exercising) seem to go more quickly. Paula IN/USA Life shou
