    Now how are you meant to encourage your secretary to earn that next payrise??

    That was the whole point of mine

    However, as a gamer, I could not give up the 5+ buttons on my mouse for a touchscreen... ever.

    What if it could recognise your separate fingers? And combinations of these + gestures etc?

    I'm not arguing that voice is better for everything. I'm just saying that the problems associated with using voice are new. Just 40 years ago, voice dictation was not a problem.

    Because you had an office.

    Now you're more likely to be open plan or in cubicle hell. Now how are you meant to encourage your secretary to earn that next payrise??

    I've said many times before I'd throw my mouse away in an instant if I could have a multi-touch trackpad on my desk. It'd have to be very low profile and about half as big as the one on the MacBook Pro in every direction.

    In fact, I've contemplated hunting down a damaged MBP to try & get it running out of the chassis, but the price of even busted up Mac parts seem to be ridiculously high.

    No no no....

    Give them the old "screenshot of existing desktop as replacement desktop" trick, don't forget to slap the task bar up to the top of the screen & turn hiding on. Now txt them a warning about a new virus which locks the desktop while it sends all the nudie pictures of their wife & recent pages visited/passwords entered back to Mother Russia.

    8) Non-removable storage. Not even!

    That's how I fixed my iPod Photo which was generally shitting itself...
    Pulled out the HDD, shook it around until I thought it'd had enough then slapped it back in & closed the casing.
    It's been working smoothly for 18 months since.

    No You're qualified to learn. Once you graduate you might be qualified to know, but until then it's just an unproven opinion. And I _am_ qualified to know that, given that I work at a University.

    So... Your clients are going to hear you've been assaulting customers?

    Nice one. Way to fuck your own "self made from the ground up business" right up in the ass!

    So what if people are putting the crap you sell on the net, all you heard is hearsay in the store. If I was one of those kids, I'd be dragging you through both the papers and the courts, then see how you like the plummet into bankrupcy rather than just a gentle slide.

    The only thing more fun than vigilante justice, is watching the person who led the posse be hanged in the town square.
