I Need your Help... :-)

I have a tech question that i need help with. :-) I recently was on "Leo Laporte - The Tech Guy" Radio Show http://twit.tv/ttg529. I had a question that I needed help with from Leo. And now I am looking for help from you.

I did a little editing (down to about 5 mins) and have saved the mp3 file so you can take a listen at.....
ThumbDriveThursday

I am looking to hook up my old computer monitor to use as a television. Leo tells me (listen here) that I can hook it up to a cable box. Before I go and rent a cable box, does anyone have a cable box and possibly a HDMI to DVI converter that I could borrow to try it out?

Thanks so much.
See you next week.

Google Docs Addition and Photo Editing

Passing on some news about Google Docs from the google blog............

Table of Contents, Dictionary and Thesaurus in Google Docs

It's no longer necessary to use bookmarklets if you want to add a table of contents in Google Docs because this feature is now available in the interface:

Insert > Table of contents. To add a table of contents, your document needs to include headings from the Format menu.

Google Docs actually creates a bookmark for each heading from the document and displays the bookmarks hierarchically using lists. Unsurprisingly, when you open the document in Microsoft Word, the application treats the table of contents created in Google Docs as a list.

You can find more information about a word directly from Google Docs: click on the Tools menu and look up the word.
