It's Plug And Play. I have a tech number I can call......

Anyway....... I need to confess something: I got you guys' attention and got you in here under "false pretenses". I needed some kind of attention because although I'm taking care of Dondra as much as I possibly can and she me, there's still a vacuum and I'm living inside it.

I did just buy the keyboard. (I needed the larger letters) and there are  those so-called "hot keys" which need binding - but......... I also needed someone to communicate with.

Sorry to be a whiner, but I love you all very much and this must be the proof. Please keep me in your prayers, thoughts and if you have any vibes, I can use those as well.

Good Morning!

I just bought a new, larger-letter keyboard and along the very top there are buttons which when pressed, will take you to: e-mail, music player, calculator,  favorites list, etc. etc.

My problem is I cannot figure out how to bind those keys to their functions.

Can someone help me, please?

Thanks

Seems that pain's no stranger to many of us, is it? I'm so sorry, y'all, but at the same time, I am glad we can rest on each other's shoulders for however long we need. I wouldn't trade that for anything. Chordians are the most wonderful people  - many of whom have never met.

Thank You!

Rick(TF) has graciously given permission for me to share these beautiful words with those who will be attending Jason's Memorial Service. I will try to do them justice, my friend.

Thank you, Amy and once again, everyone for your lovely expressions of condolence. We're here, taking care of each other and yes, Roger wishing you lived closer to help us through this, but in the final analysis, it's going to be up to Dondra and myself. Lord, I wish I could have spared her this!

We needed you and you were there for us. For that and so many other kindnesses you have shown our little family we are truly grateful my friends. It is now just after midnight,  my (and your) Dondra  is finally asleep, fitful though it may be and I am "on watch" in case she needs me. My friends, it is so easy to ask, "When will all this end??". It is so much better to ask for continued strength to bear what must be borne. I am certain our dear friend Dino would agree.

Good Night and God Bless You, Our Dear Friends.

Only ONE port [b}Z[/b}. The player only cost about $50.00 at Wal-Mart and the TV is an older one.

Thanks though.

, does that mean I bypass the BluRay player, and if so and I still want the BluRay to watch, what would the requirements of a TV be? Also does Roku carry a subscription fee?

Thanks

I currently have a Samsung player which allows me to stream only YouTube, Vudu and Netflix.

What I would like to know is: Will there ever be a time when this player would upgrade itself (or let me do it via a download) to include Amazon and other streaming services?

Thanks

Me either, we just have to face it Jan.... we are just too young to remember. big_smile

And to Bill.... you know I'm just kidding???  At the time I was old enough but not spending that much time tuning in to that "evil Rock-n-Roll music".  Then I discovered Surfin' and all that changed, until a friend of mine drug himself out of the water with half his calf missing from a "love nip" by a curious Shark.  Redondo Beach 1966.  Decided hot cars were more my thing.... smile

Of course I know that, Doug. smile Matter of fact, I was gonna tell Jan that very thing! smile You two were probably still in your Pampers at that time! LOL

My pleasure guys. The words you mentioned TF - which were rewritten because they were considered offensive - had to do with the "Sacred Cow' -  the animal revered by the Hindu faith. I think that's right. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Glad you liked it, though.

..... of 3 hours, so I needed something to do to while away the time and here's what I did: practiced a vocal exercise my voice coach taught me in the three lessons I was able to take from her.

I sang the following in my head:  Maybe you'll like it and can use it as well. Pay special attention to the harmonies and key changes. It's a really fun exercise performed by The Three Stooges. A little intro begins it. Come on! You can do it! Enjoy and sing it out loud, NOT in your head!  HAHA!

I wish it were, but I have so many doctor's appointments this week, I have not had  a speck of time to spend here or on the computer, so I'll be a little tardy for a while. Don't worry, though: we still love you and although my 60's band  and me didn't perform it originally, we did COVER it at many dances. Enjoy, know you are loved and  cared about.

Thanks my friend
