... description for the visually impaired. Y'know -- kind of like closed captioning for the deaf, but it's a narrator describing things like, "Homer walks in, sits down at table with Bart and Lisa."

None of the other channels are doing it, so I don't think I accidentally hit a button on the remote. Besides, that feature is like three menus deep, so there's really no way to adjust it "by accident."

:scared:

Edited to add: On PBS, there's what sounds like a BBC political talk show about Israel/Gaza for audio, over video of Julia Childs.

2. Well, whoever thought insanity could be so humorless? This is totally...

6. What did you call me?!!!!
LOL! :D

Seriously, though, SAP is a few menus deep. I don't know how I could have done it by accident.

Hmmmm... then again, there's always that "monkeys-typing-Shakespeare" scenario...

Maybe the time is right for me to get back to work on my novel! :7
