@scottalanmiller My wife and I have the entire series of Roswell (assuming you are talking about the one with the 3 alien kids)...
That's the one. We have it all on DVD too plus have it all converted and sitting on our NAS for easy viewing too.

Thinking I am going to give Wildstar a shot now that it is F2P.

I think we have it on our NAS as well. Have to look again.

I just discovered that there is a site dedicated to posting the location of election day sausage sizzles, aptly labelled as the Democracy Sausage.
THAT'S SOOOOO FREAKING COOL!
I can have a sausage sizzle while voting for the parliamentary cupcake of my choosing. Bring on the next election! -
Sadly I dont' think that we have sausage sizzles in the US (or in Nicaragua.)

Zoho has a new interface. Still not sure what I think.
Oh... it looks like they took quite a few clues from Gmail. Not sure the change is for the best.
I don't know about you, and I know it's polarizing (though I don't understand why) but I really can't stand Google's email interface. I've been using Outlook since Office 95 and been a fan ever since. I have to say that Outlook's push to become more social - connecting with Facebook, etc - is disappointing, but I have to assuming that users want that.
I really don't care for any email interface right now. They are all pretty much terrible. None of them have a semblance of user friendliness.
I think Zoho was close with their previous one. It was very feature rich. I use the dashboard a lot. Hopefully this new one is far from complete because to get notes, tasks, links, the notebook, you have to click another link and have a separate page open instead of just being on the left.

I've got such a big movie library that still needs to be converted to digital... (I mean I have some VHS tapes too!)
Anybody know of a good device that will convert VHS tapes to MP4 or something and keep the closed captions in the video?

Only recording the video input from the VHS. On the plus side, you get to watch all of the movies again.

You can get an analogue video card to do that.

Today is so slow around here compared to the rest of the week. I guess the post SpiceWorld steam has let up.

Do you have any recommendations for that? and the software?

Sorry, no. Haven't done anything like that since the 1990s.

Well... crap... That means I gotta start all over again... I wonder how much duplication we have between VHS and DVDs, lol.
-
@johnhooks This is true. In the past, when I have done that (recorded the VHS video using various tools), the Closed Captions do not come over with the video. (Or perhaps back then, the video players simply did not have the options for CC... Couldn't hurt to try again.

@Dashrender The last card I used for that was from Happauge. It was a pretty good card. Back then, the Happauge card came wiht a copy of WinDVR, I think it was. That worked rather well. I may have to look and see how much those cards are...
New Egg has http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815116065&cm_re=Happauge--15-116-065--Product
It appears to have HDMI-in as well as RCA adapters too... ~$120 bucks. Reviews say it works with Windows 10...
