Thanks for the correction notfred. sleepmachine, where's that thread? I've got to see what others are thinking! Oops! I found it herehere. Gonna peruse now, even though my mind's a haze right now.

Ok, the O.C. might not fit in with the Anandtech crowd, but Rachel Bilson is pretty hot. It's 2:20AM in the morning but it isn't Rachel Bilson that's keeping me awake, though- it's Imogen Heap! You may have heard of Imogen Heap and not know it. She, along with Guy Sigworth, formed a band...

I was friends with this one girl for almost a year when one day she told me that she had a dream that she had kissed me the night before. In my little head, I took it as a hint that she *wanted* to kiss me. A few days later, as we were lying in bed together, and with her mother in the next...

That's a good deal. Sonic owns Roxio now so maybe this product is going to get better. CinePlayer is also included, which is my favorite decoder. The last EZCD Creator removed the ability to allow you to burn custom bootable WinXP discs or anything that needs No Emulation. I hope they changed...

Steve is taking jabs at Bill for his vision of portable video. Read what Bill says in response... like he doesn't know. CNET link

Heck, I just purchased a license even though I really don't have any use for it. I guess it's a way of saying thank you for the times that I did use it. BulletProofFTP used to be a favorite of mine too, but it doesn't seem to be as popular as it was in the haydays. Bump for a deal that is...

FlashFXP is a nice client I used years back before P2P became the new trading ground. Don't have that much use for FTP anymore... but it is certainly a nice price. I've used SmartFTP before too. SmartFTP has a lovely interface, but it was extremely buggy back then. I haven't tried it for a long...

I thought WinMe was the best of the 9X line except for WMP7, which was a real dog. It was just Win98 Third Edition or Win95 Six, Seven, whatever...

Adobe PhotoAlbum Starter Edition is more of a demo or trial product than it is anything useful. You'll find a lot of the commands/options are links to buy the full version. For free with a timeline function Picassa is great, but if you can afford the full version of Adobe PhotoAlbum, I'd go for...

I found a cardboard box that included an ATA card free so I bought that one instead of the regular plastic encased drive. When I got home and opened it up, it was missing the ATA card. WTF? Then, I looked at the drive and it was an old Seagate in an opened antistatic wrapping. Some industrious...

Thanks all for the advice. I definitely will heed.

I'm not sure why I didn't ask, but I remember telling myself, "Man, I need a life." My doctor's exact advice was that I should find another hobby.

My eyes are getting bad and the eye doc says that the computer monitor is definitely a contributing factor. Would switching to an LCD setup help?

I know it's supposed to mean something, but I forgot already. Darn this memory.

Did I mention that the keyboard has a fake padded leather rest for the heel of your palm? It's a nice touch. Too bad they didn't include the padded mouse in the set too. Anyway, I realize that I am beginning to sound like an MS hoe so maybe you all should wait for some professional reviews. I...
