I have Acrobat Distiller installed but I don't see the PDF option from within Word. I'm almost positive I've created a PDF in Word on this computer before... Any ideas?
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

DOH! Thanks, Ginger. I don't do it very often from Word so I forgot and the Distiller Help ain't so Helpful!

Hey. New board.
I can read PDFs on my phone. It's not the funnest use of it ever, but if it's doable for a few pages, I expect a dedicated reader to be doable for a few more.
The problem with the normal portable PDF model for eInk is the refresh rate. Smooth scrolling is really impossible on the screen - it really only works in the context of the page-turning metaphor. They could implement something, I'm sure, but it wouldn't do it WELL.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gack. I'm adding a new member to my electronic family and I'm all unprepared. I need an ethernet hub for the living room now. Reflexively I want one that can run that dd-wrt firmware my wireless router is running, but it's not a wireless router...though I could put a wireless one in and just make the signal stronger out there...
That may be pointless, but is it feasible?
And, wow, I have to buy network cables. I've never had to buy them before. This is weird.

Is there any reason to keep Windows 95 and 98 boot disks? I'm tackling my long-neglected office. I'm also trying to think of some kind of Martha Stewart thing to do with a plastic drawer for floppies. It's sturdy. It has sides. CDs won't fit.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Do you still have any Windows 95/98 computers? If not, then toss 'em.

No, I don't. Any of you people with ancient computer collections need them?
Related question: I have 6 zip disks. I no longer have a zip drive. They contain a five- or six-year-old backup, so it's possible that there's something sensitive in there. Hulk smash?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Give them to a toddler?
