Office 2007 has a very steep learning curve, but it great.

So AT&T is making new data plans for the iPhone, and I'm saving $15/month!

however, current subscribers of AT&T have that option to keep the unlimited data plan, something i'll be taking advantage of. i use a lot of data, and I, for one...would not want to get an overpriced bill than what I am already getting. actually, i think the amount i'm paying is fair. so i'll be sticking to the unlimited data plan. lets just say, i don't like "limitations", the sky is the limit to me

Also, does anyone have a video of the new tropical update opener? I'm not sure I like that "parallelogram."

I just realised, Lost had its final episode yesterday. I'm gonna miss Lost

Today was also the series finale of 24, even though I've never watched it nor plan to.

it's about that time where a lot of well populated shows have their season finales...CSI Miami Season Finale was tonight, CSI NY is Wednesday, Criminal Minds is also wednesday...along with a whole bunch of shows.

Local Forecast / Re: New Intellistar version?

« on: May 24, 2010, 06:28:54 PM »

It's funny how not even the XL is anywhere near showing signs of degradation, and it is now older than the 4000 was when degradation began being reported. Thing is, both the XL and the Intellistar were built to last, and they most likely will for quite some time. I too like the Intellistar, but especially with the new LDL, I don't think TWC is using the Intellistar to the best of its capabilities.

yeah, you're right - they're pushing it past it's capabilities...

No, that's the exact opposite of what I meant. I was saying that the Intellistar is not used to its fullest capabilities.

and i'm sticking to what I said...in reality they're actually pushing it.

Funny. I also slept on the floor this morning. Not a good way to get sleep. lol

Had a fantastic time at Prom! End of senior year quickly approaching. Sad and happy!

i hated that feeling...but once you cross the stage, it'll change to just happy. guaranteed.

Yes. With the rollout of the HD Stars starting soon, the city modifiers will be phased out, and only the city name will be displayed.

If you can not get to these requests I 100% understand.

These are a few requests for STAR 24745:

If possible, during the forecasts, could GREATER MEMPHIS AREA be changed to MEMPHIS METRO AREA?

from my understanding, both formats you mentioned there will be discontinued shortly.

so TWC isn't available in SD in my area right now, and the HD channel is really jumpy.

on the SD channel my cable provider has put up "Channel Not Available, Try Again Later"

Flow and incident narration was disabled shortly after the overview maps were introduced. They were put back in place in markets where the overview maps were removed.  Now that the overview maps are gone, I wouldn't be surprised to see the narration for incidents and flow come back.

wait, are the overflow maps gone for good? i thought it was only temporary.

i liked the overflow map feature.
