    Ground loop hum? Part II

    My husband and I have just encountered a ground loop hum which seems to be stemming from the receiver & cable box connection. It seems like a ground loop isolator is the way to go, but I can't find a store that sells them except online--anyone ever seen these in a brick-n-mortar store? (We're...

    Dragon Naturally Speaking

    Steven K--thanks for the info! I've been out of town for awhile. Hopefully my friend will be able to get it working better (last time I spoke to her she was seriously considering upgrading to v7). Thanks again!

    Dragon Naturally Speaking

    Thanks! I'll tell her to buckle down! I think she got frustrated training it. Do you know anything about the newer version? (edit) Also, which microphone do you use or would you recommend?

    Dragon Naturally Speaking

    A friend of mine needs some advice on Dragon Naturally Speaking. Can anyone help? She has repetitive-stress injury to her wrists and arms (hence why I am posting and not she), and she bought DNS to help her write papers for law school. Basically she says it doesn't work that well: the program...

    Firefly 12/06/02

    My favorite line: "Grenades cost extra". I love how complicated River and Kaylee's relationship has suddenly become. The fact that Kaylee couldn't even look River in the eye was chilling. In the series Kaylee began so much like Willow--innocent, sweet character, beloved by all. Then the sex...

    Joss posts about Firefly!

    Hmm, that link isn't working so well-sorry about that! Here's the whole bit: "Hullo, friends and so-called "friends". (I know the difference: those of you that are plotting my death are in BIG trouble. It was funny once.) Tomorrow's the big night. I think we're in for some EXTRA-funny home...

    Joss posts about Firefly!

    Thought I'd share Joss Whedon's wonderfully gushy 'thank you' posted on the Fox Firefly forum--click on the link below. Also, a lot of the actors and writers have been posting: Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin, Morena Baccarin, Mark Sheppard (Badger)--and all for real (those associated with the...

    Firefly 11/07

    Some good news: On the Firefly forum on Fox's official site, there are 2 people so far who have posted that they are Nielsen families. But one was only recently signed up (as in this week), so I don't know if the mysterious Nielsen system is up and running on his TV to help out tonight's...

    Firefly AR Question

    >>Fox only agreed to keep it widescreen if it did gangbusters, which it didn't That's interesting--I didn't realize broadcasting in widescreen was more expensive. By the way, wasn't last Sunday's Angel in full screen? I can't remember now if it regularly goes back and forth or not--I always...

    Please Watch Firefly tonight

    >> I've seen every one aired so far... and I have yet to figure out why it was avertised with "a crew that includes a girl in a box."..... For Dr. Joe: You posted awhile back, but I wasn't sure if you really got a direct answer to your question. The girl in a box is a reference to the...

    Firefly 11/07

    My bad! Ah, heck, all great shows so all great writers! Hope everyone here knows there's a rumor that this Friday's episode Ariel (Nov. 15th) will be the decision-maker for Fox. Make sure you and all your friends watch--especially if any of them have Nielsons boxes! Anyone else as bummed...

    "Nope, that was new Jossian prodigy Drew Goddard formerly of Six Feet Under" Yummy--I'm delighted that Firefly lured over one of the Six Feet Under writers. From one great show to another!

    Firefly 11/01

    I second your Yikes! on the Birds of Prey/Buffy comparison! I'm so happy to find Firefly fans here! If you haven't already done so, I'd like to encourage everyone who likes the show to write Fox in support of it. There's a shiny Firefly support website now that lists Fox's address as well as...
