Re: Gibber jabber during a show.

[Guest guest]

, that sounds good but I don't like to have sounds so close to

my ears!

Inger, Alias is a pretty good show, though a little violent. If you

want the 4th season when we're done watching it I'll send it to you.

This year, 5th season is the last,

I've seen that HD recording thing on my cable but I don't think I

have it, it's probably extra $$. Oh, I'm just so technological,

aren't I? We just bought a VCR/DVD to replace our VCR and decided to

hook it up ourselves. Don't laugh--we're electronic retards. Okay, go

ahead and laugh, we do. I understand the idea of the circuit from

physics but can't work it out practically with the components. So we

just went wire for wire from the VCR to DVD and wha-la it worked! We

were joking that it might only be temporary, that we really didn't

hook it up properly.

This year, 5th season is the last,

Wow, thanks! I've been trying to catch it for recording but they've keep

changing air times so that I've missed some of the most crucuial episodes.

:-(((

Well, I pretty much suck at it too. I really dislike new tech stuff. When I

got the HD-DVD I managed to connect the cables, but no more. Reading

instruction manual makes my brain shut down. So, what I did was just let it

sit there for a week. Then, by some miracle, I just sort of figured out how

to do it. This is how it was with my computer too. I learn by clicking on

the buttons to see what happens. Features that I have no use for I just

ignore.
