    Hurricane Advice

    I assume you're telling Dave Barry to watch out because his work is being plagiarized by the OP? http://www.miami.com/mld/miami...dave_barry/2078085.htm

    The Celebration World Resort may be nice but it is not in Celebration, FL, only near it. Celebration's only hotel is the appropriately named Celebration Hotel

    Need to be 21 to rent a room in las vegas?

    I was in a similar situation a few years ago, and ended up staying here. IIRC, the law is that you must be 21+ to stay at a hotel with gambling facilities, so you won't find a hotel on the strip. However, the linked hotel is quite close to the strip, about a mile.

    What Newsgroup reader do you use?

    I've been using WinVN daily for 8 years now, and I haven't found a better reader yet. It breaks every rule in the Microsoft interface book, which is why it works so well. I'd reccommend using the Mark Spankus builds. You can get it from his website. It's free and open source.

    Is there an alternative to TiVo?

    << I've heard that there were 2 different technologies competing. I was about to get a TiVo this weekend, and found out that there's a $9.xx per month charge to use it. I really don't like the idea of paying a monthly fee to use a prettied up VCR! Less than 10 bucks a month isn't much, but...

    Okay, I'll bite... What makes you think you'll get 5% cash back from your card on a transaction with Paypal?
