Please support the Forum by using the Amazon Link this Holiday Season

Amazon has started their Black Friday sales and there are some great deals to be had! As you shop this holiday season, please consider using the forum's Amazon.com link (listed in the menu as "Amazon Link") to add items to your cart and purchase them. The forum gets a small commission from every item sold.

Additionally, the forum gets a "bounty" for various offers at Amazon.com. For instance, if you sign up for a 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime, the forum will earn $3. Same if you buy a Prime membership for someone else as a gift! Trying out or purchasing an Audible membership will earn the forum a few bucks. And creating an Amazon Business account will send a $15 commission our way.

If you have an Amazon Echo, you need a free trial of Amazon Music!! We will earn $3 and it's free to you!

Your personal information is completely private, I only get a list of items that were ordered/shipped via the link, no names or locations or anything. This does not cost you anything extra and it helps offset the operating costs of this forum, which include our hosting fees and the yearly registration and licensing fees.

Stay safe and well and thank you for your participation in the Forum and for your support!! --Deborah

    • Of course there are new things, but I've really only used Outlook so far.

      • But tweaks rather than major changes? (i.e when The Ribbon showed up the first time)

        • The ribbon is still there, but it's flattened a bit. No paradigm shifts this time.

            • Ok, my coworkers will not have to go into a panic induced state of shock over that. Therefore my life will be simpler

              • Question for the AV club.

                I recently cancelled cable and went to streaming video service. But I can't get any over the air stations on my tv. It's a relatively new (less than 1.5 years) but it won't pick up a station. Any ideas?

                  Do you have an analog to digital convertor box or an HDTV antennae?

                  • Nope. But shouldn't a new tv pick it up automatically?

                      No you need to get an HD antenna (built in antennas died 10+ years ago) preferably a powered one. You should then pickup a dozen or so channels with some of them having an hd and sd version.

                      Also you need your tv to scan the channels for it to unlock them.

                            My HD antennae works well here, near LA.

                            • so I am thinking about buying a new TV. would it be best to buy it now or after the Superbowl?

                              I have a feeling that there will be many people returning the TVs after tomorrow so maybe I can get a better deal on a return TV.

                                Yeah if you don't mind open box products. Just after Christmas and the SB are the best times to get a TV.
