I just wanted to make this point here:
If you can set your VCR/DVR to record the LF for the LAT48's coming up, is it really that hard to do it during the time change? I don't get it 

I plan to participate, as I am working on recording 3 STARs that nite.

The main problem is having it so late in the evening. I think that will diminish participation. But perhaps next change we can make a poll to see if enough people will do it.

Glad to hear you will participate!

Well, I know Mike will record both 21872 and 21884 to do it with me, and like I said, I am working on 3 STARs for it, so as long as people watch our videos I suppose it is enough for now.

Gas has increased significantly here in the past two weeks, up from $2.17 to $2.41.

Same here, from something in the $2.40's to $2.75, though some stations have fallen. Consistent rise though.

I think DirecTV is good.

I love DirecTV, and I didn't find a satellite dish on my house from before we moved in

Nice, I like it although I do see an outdated version of Pinnacle TVCenterPro.

lol whenever my desktop computer is running (next to always), that Pinnacle window is open. The only reason it was minimized was to show my desktop
How can you tell the software version is outdated?

lol, the exact same screenshot that I took of my new metro map on 22840 has been used near everywhere. It's on my youtube channel, and I use it as my desktop background.

Where's your desktop?

Wow, I'm dealing with a lot of crap with the warranty on my laptop. For a week now (since last Thursday), it has not booted up properly, and when it does boot (after 5+ minutes of start-up time, and then the 10 minutes or so it takes to get past the login screen), it freezes and does not work. Sometimes it will work intermittently, and I have had to take advantage of those times to try and get files off of it. I used it to record TWC in Alpena, Bad Axe, the E.L. (22842), Grand Rapids, Novi, Romulus, Bay City, and St Ignace. So far, I have backed up all my Alpena, Bad Axe and Bay City recordings. Except for 1-3 files that won't transfer properly, I got all my E.L., Grand Rapids, and St Ignace recordings backed-up as well.

We called the Staples warranty and they informed us that the package (a box to send the laptop in back to the warranty along with a few other things) was shipped through UPS, and would have arrived on Wednesday. However, they could not find my address, even though we receive mail as normal and have received packages through UPS before. They sent a post card informing the recipient (us) even though they couldn't find my address.

Now the laptop freezes during the boot-up process. I allowed it to run a disk check, and it found several files that are unreadable.

Keep in mind, I bought this laptop brand new from Staples back in June, and got it the day after my birthday (the 11th).

I had a literal meltdown (hyperventilating; hot-headed, hostile attitude) on Wednesday nite, which caused me to stay home from school yesterday, and I got near having another one yesterday as well. It is amazing how much stress this laptop has brought to me.
