8/8     Deal EE engineers. Can you please tell me if the following is
        possible? My condo offers HOA-paid basic DirecTV/Multiband
        (re-broadcasted into channel 2 all the way to 70) cable. It also
        offers TimeWarner broadband. There is only ONE cable going from
        the condo switch box into my unit, and I've been told that
        I can either get DirecTV/Multiband cable, or broadband cable, but

4/19    After installing Logitech wireless mouse, my friend cannot connect from
        his PC to his wireless broadband router via a USB wireless network
        device.  It said that it cannot obtain IP address from the router.  Even
        uninstalling the Logitech wireless mouse doesn't help.  Do you know how
        to fix the wireless LAN problem, so that his PC can obtain IP address
        again?

10/20   There's an SMC 54Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Broadband Router on sale at
        MicroCenter for $7.99.  Does anyone have and bad experience with this
        router?  I'm looking for a wired router for my two desktops at home,
        but this one is even cheaper than the wired routers.  TIA.

2/25    Hi motd.  A friend of mine wants to keep her AOL e-mail address (or
        set up forwarding) since she got a cable modem.  From what I found
        on http://aol.com, it sounds like she wants to switch from AOL Dial-up
        ($24/month) to AOL Broadband  ($15/month).  Is this the right way
        (I guess via AOL account management or calling them up)?
        Is there a cheaper way?  Anyone have any experience?  Thanks!

5/2     In Bay Area, How does Dish Network compare to DirectTV and AT&T Digital

11/8    I bought a home with a big round satellite dish (about 8'
        diameter) on the roof.  The dish is see-through like a net, not solid
        like the DirectTV kind.  Neither the previous owner nor my real-estate
        agent know how to use it.  Is there certain service that I need to
        subscribe to?  (I assume the dish is for some kind of TV service.)
        Does anyone have any company name or phone number that I can call?

9/5     Digital cable or satellite?
        \_ Dish... displeases me.  From what I've seen of both, the interface
           on the dish boxen >> the digital cable boxes.  It's a bit faster,
           has picture in picture, and not _quite_ as many ads.  However,
           cable seems to have its MPEGiness tuned to screw up large black/
           dark areas of the screen, while the dish seemed to make light

9/10    How have you guys dealt with people and cellphones in movie theaters?
        This one woman next to me today talked through a quarter of the movie,
        near screaming at one point (guess she was having an argument). I
        told her to go talk outside, and she put her hand up, as if saying
        "I'm on the phone, don't f'ing bother me." Then she told me off
        after she got off the phone. I don't want to leave the theater to
