Why cant i use the laptop? The HVR 16000 model has better picture than 950

Because the 1600 is a PCI device. Laptops don't have PCI slots.

My mom and I drove no where for 2 hours.

With the price of gas these days, I don't think that's a very wise idea.

But regardless, I don't think I'm getting anything as far as the stimulus rebates because I made just under the minimum amount.

On a related note, I'm very unhappy about these rebates we're gonna get. Apparently you have to have made at least $3500 this past tax year, and I did not. I hope I get at least a partial rebate, but knowing my luck all I'll get is a goose egg.

Thank you government! 

I made just under the amount needed to get a big rebate, so I'm not getting anything significant as far as rebates (I think it's like $17 or something).

Billy, are you thinking of your tax refund, or your stimulus rebate?

Federal tax refund, not the stimulus rebate.

Writing essays has always been a weakness for me. Although my use of words and grammar may be good, I've always struggled to make the essay long enough to meet the requirements.

Same here. I can never seem to make them long enough.

Satellite LF at 2:08 AM ET, then the STAR kicked in about 5 or 10 seconds late.

I see....

At this point I'm wondering if it would be easier to just revert back to plain ol' HTML. I'm very well versed in that, so getting the site up to code by myself would not be a problem. That's the biggest concern-I really don't want to have to drag you or anyone else into a tedious, arduous, time-consuming task if its not necessary.

Consequently, I just plugged weather.com into the W3C code validator, and their site has more errors than mine! I guess then that having perfect code isn't a very big concern. 

I wouldn't loose sleep over what the W3C Validator says. It tends to be very picky about what code you can and can't use, and that's an understatement. As long as the code is semi clean, has no huge errors, and works in the major browsers, it should be fine.

That's right, you did create them.

Hmmm...that sounds like a pretty big undertaking. Question: must the site be in XHTML? Would it be advisable to switch to plain HTML 4.01 instead? I ask because as I write this I am checking out weather.com's source code and their site adhere's to the HTML 4.01Strict standard, but no CSS, XHTML, or anything like that. Are there particular drawbacks or advantages of one or the other?

They don't have to be in XHTML. I decided to use XHTML because that what I learned in school (but I know HTML 4.01, too). The differences between XHTML 1.0 and HTML 4.01 are minor (just a few differences in tags, and the fact XML can be integrated in the code using XHTML), but generally HTML 4.01 is more common just because it's been around for so long.

That computer came in for a hard landing on Runway 11, so I'm going to need to keep it for a while until I can make the necessary repair.
