I got a ATI TV Wonder VE for my computer. What is an ATI TV Wonder VE you might say? It will allow me to watch tv on my computer and capture it and save it to an AVI video file. It did not work with Windows XP. They said that it would, but it did not.
I even took the time to download the huge files to make it work. Nothing. I am alittle bit upset with them right now. But I took it
back to Wal-Mart and got my money back. So I guess that is a good thing. Apple has come out with an ipod for Windows users. I also like the new 17" inch flat panel LCD Imacs.

The yard sale went very well for me. I will have enough to get new glasses. Went and looked at some and I found a pair of Tommy Hilfiger glasses that l liked. But first I have to have an eye exam. My current glasses fell on the ground and I did not know about it and my dog Gretchen got hold of them. They have teeth marks all over them. I can still wear them but they are damaged. The lenes are all scratched up. That is my fault. No I will not wear contacts. Good Night!

Cable companies cracking down on Wi-Fi
Cable companies cracking down on Wi-Fi
"Broadband providers are cracking down on popular Wi-Fi networks, threatening to cut service to customers who set up the inexpensive wireless systems and allow others to freely tap into their Internet access. Time Warner Cable of New York City has given 10 customers less than a week to stop using their accounts to provide a wireless local area network available to anyone within 300 feet. The letters are just an initial volley; Time Warner expects to send additional letters, while AT&T Broadband also is preparing similar letters for some of its customers." ;-)

Drinking Too Much Water Can Kill You: Report
Drinking Too Much Water Can Kill You: Report
"A new review of three deaths of US military recruits highlights the dangers of drinking too much water. The military has traditionally focused on the dangers associated with heat illness, which has killed a number of healthy, young enrollees, Colonel John W. Gardner of the Office of the Armed Forces Medical Examiner in Rockville, Maryland told Reuters Health. However, pushing the need to drink water too far can also have deadly consequences, he said. "The risk has always been not drinking enough," Gardner said. "And then people who aren't medically attuned get overzealous," inducing recruits to drink amounts of water that endanger their health, he added."
