I have a 1st gen iPad (with 3G, so I will keep it to use when travelling). Some of the interest in the Surface for me is the similarity with Windows 8 on the desktop. Some is that I'm the person who's expected to have an opinion on new things in my small circle: should I recommend iThings or...

FWIW I have a Surface (typing on it right now), and I'm perfectly happy with it. Email works (Office 365, IMAP, Gmail). Word displays text just as quickly as I can type (no, I don't type that quickly, but I do use more than one finger). You can access the file system. You can access files on...

mubs, good idea. Is that available without an extension?

It's been in Firefox for a while, certainly 3.6 which is what I'm using now. In about:config set browser.tabs.closeButtons to 3.

TMPGEnc is pretty easy to use. I haven't done anything complicated with it, but it seems to be able to deal with editing commercials from two hour movies without any pain. http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/te4xp.html

Haven't heard anything either. It's only been 2 weeks, with Christmas in the middle though, so I'll continue to wait.

I received a (paper) letter in the mail (slot) today too repeating the original email confirmation in Timwhit's quote. Sheesh. Is this much contact normal from Adaptec Customer Care? I hope nobody shows up at the front door tomorrow morning....

Looking good. How much of a difference does the mirror lock-up make? My D70 doesn't have the feature, and I've never been sure of the impact

Yeah, it's still a good deal. Best I could find up here was CAD 1015, USD 860ish. This deal will be around CAD 670 including shipping, and if I'm lucky, customs might miss the taxes (one can always hope.)

I got the same reply from Adaptec a few days ago. They just called me up, I thought to verify that I was a "qualified" person. I was expecting to lose the deal, as we're not in the computer business, and don't buy masses of computers, but they just wanted to let me know that there was still a...

:scratch: That's a nice picture Handruin!

What's a gay moon?
