In my experience, there is a significant number of users that expect open source software developers to provide free product support. Product support is something from the commerical world. You paid for the software, so you are entitled to get help making it work for you. But open source software does not work that way. The users are expected to make an effort to read the documentation, to try to solve their own problems, and whenever possible, provide patches to fix bugs. You are not paying for the software with your money, so you, as a user, are not entitled to free support, or even software that works right. But when the software is good, and you make an effort to read documentation and solve your own problems, you will be rewarded with the knowledge and experience to solve your own problems again in the future.

An AC so politely told us that they aren't free.
If you tell them you have an "older" computer then you can get two free DIN->mini-DIN converters with the device, according to their web site.
A club named "Ten Forward" with some mild mannered

blue drinks?
Why is that familiar somehow?
Imagine my surprise when I read that Verisign bought Thought. I could understand if they had patented it, but bought Thought?
I'm still wrong though.
Well, there isn't anything special for the computer. Usually any resolution will work just fine.
However, 3/4 is a visually pleasing ratio to look at. 786/1024 = 3/4; 1024/1280 = 4/5; 1200/1600 = 3/4.
Hmm, well, two of three isn't bad. I guess even standards aren't standard.
