oh yeah, I've been bugging ita about hers for a long while. I haven't been able to justify spending $$ on an extra drive yet, so let's see what I come up this summer. :-)
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You don't have one?
Oops.

No, I have a Tivo and I did get a hard drive added when the original one got fried. I just find it hard to believe I was ahead of you on any technological curve. I am amongst the least tech-savvy Buffistas.

Hee. Your TV addiction served you well in this instance.
I didn't get a TiVo until I moved here anyway.
Anti-virus/firewall question: My NAV subscription is expiring. With what would you recommend replacing it?

I like Sygate for a firewall. It is really good. And free.
Virus...don't know.

PC. Wait, I'm about to become a 2 OS household -- I need Mac recs too.
Will go check Sygate.

ita, for Mac, these 2 Macworld articles are really helpful on security/firewall and virii issues: [link] and [link] . Also check the right sidebar on those pages.

Strawberry disappointment.
I'd back up Sygate for firewall. And I've found Panda to be really good as an anti-virus.
