My Roku arrived this morning, took 90 seconds to get working, connected via HDMI the picture quality is superb. Within a further 40 seconds I was watching content. This is how shit should work out here in consumerland!

That is such a shame to hear.

I recall that Terry was the very first 'celeb' I ever emailed and got a nice reply from in those heady pre-WWW days online.

tpratchett@unseen.demon.co.uk comes to mind.

The mice just returned to our home, winter drives them indoors I believe. So off I trot to Lowe's and I buy two 49 Cent peanut butter traps and two $18.99 electronic mousetraps. In 2.5 days we've caught seven, countem, seven mice and all using the low-tech 49 Cent traps.

I noticed this morning that in one of the hi-tech 'electronic' traps, a mouse had crawled in, apparently balanced itself on one of the electrocution pads and proceeded to nibble off almost all of the peanut butter, and then exited the tunnel of death pointing his rodenty middle digit firmly in my general direction.

We now check the traps with great regularity as it is currently proving more exciting that the TV!
