I can't tell you how many times I have said "I am not a hardware guy". Applies to my career as well as home.
I have a ceiling fan in our bedroom that burned-out. We bought a new one. I have to install it.
I just have to figure out how to 1) get the old one down, and 2) get the new one up.
I am soooo screwed...
Well, today is the day. Today Comcast gobbles-up a very good computer & tech television network (TechTV) and smashes it into G4 - a gaming channel - to try to come up some new network that sure the hell seems a bit too gaming-centric called G4TechTV. Gone are some of TechTV's better shows, like Leo Laporte's Call for Help, and even Tech Live. At least The Screen Savers is untouched - at least so far. Comcast is shutting-down the San Francisco studios of TechTV, forcing anybody that wants to continue their job to transfer to LA.
Friggin' bastards of a cable company... No wonder I cut 'em loose and went to DirecTV... just another money-hungry media conglomerate...
