And since I use plenty of folders, Gmail won't do here.
Gmail works fine with folders. You can set up Thunderbird with Gmail's IMAP and then drag/drop your Yahoo folders onto it to migrate all your old mail.
The reason on-board video is disabled is because it is using the same AGP bus which can only support one device. Think of it as an AGP video card soldered into your motherboard, with an option of being turned off when something is inserted into AGP slot.
2/8/98 ------ Just got back from the Q2 wrap party in vegas that Activision threw for us.
Having a reasonable grounding in statistics and probability and no belief in luck, fate, karma, or god(s), the only casino game that interests me is blackjack.
Playing blackjack properly is a test of personal discipline. It takes a small amount of skill to know the right plays and count the cards, but the hard part is making yourself consistantly behave like a robot, rather than succumbing to your "gut instincts".
I play a basic high/low count, but I scale my bets widely -- up to 20 to 1 in some cases. Its not like I'm trying to make a living at it, so the chance of getting kicked out doesn't bother me too much.
I won $20,000 at the tables, which I am donating to the Free Software Foundation. I have been meaning to do something for the FSF for a long time. Quake was deployed on a dos port of FSF software, and both DOOM and Quake were developed on NEXTSTEP, which uses many FSF based tools. I don't subscribe to all the FSF dogma, but I have clearly benefited from their efforts.

A United flight SFO-EWR flight I took a couple weeks ago allowed IM (AIM, MSN, ICQ and Y!) access for $5.99 for the duration of the flight. You connect your laptop to a phone line, dial up to any number and it connects. Their router then only allows IM traffic to the ground.
Brilliant! Why would I need to use a phone with some rediculous per-minute charge if I can chat with 5 people at once while in the air without disturbing other passengers nonetheless..
How about a CompactFlash GPS module (about $100+ from places like http://www.semsons.com) and a PDA (which you might already have). This and one of several available mapping applications will make for an excellent GPS unit, in-car navigation system and of course, it'll still serve as a PDA.
CF GPS unit may even work in a laptop with a PCMCIA->CF adapter.
I remember seeing a PCI card that allowed hooking up a regular VCR and using VHS tapes for backups. Several gigabytes per tape - mind you, this was when 1 gigabyte hard drives were common.
If you "watched" the tape it would appear as series of white/black squares on the screen.

I'm not the original poster but here goes. This is with a three 27gig drive Linux software RAID5 (md). This box has been up and running for about 2 years as my personal file server. All three drives are identical (Seagates, I'm too lazy to lookup model numbers)
[10:40pm]/root> hdparm -t/dev/hda/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 2.70 seconds = 23.70 MB/sec
[10:41pm]/root> hdparm -t/dev/md0/dev/md0:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.40 seconds = 45.71 MB/sec
These are read tests of course but this is a mostly-read file server so that's what matters to me.
Also, it is a highly patched RedHat 6.2 install with 2.4.17 kernel, dual p2-400mhz, 1/2 gig of ram.
You can setup Evolution to store downloaded mail in mbox format and then you can use pretty much any other command line or not client to read it. I actually have it setup so I can use Mozilla to look in my mail if I really want to.
Or as someone has mentioned, you can fetchmail your mail to your local machine and then use any client, Evolution or not, to read it. Certainly beats Outlook's pst files.
Sinclair clones are VERY reprepsentative of personal computer market of that time. There were literally dozens of variants, with various extensions and addons, custom operating systems, modified OS, etc. They were self-made (I've had one of those, total cost: $20), with mass-produced pc boards and cases, and even factory-made (even with OS translated to russian.
Most of them connected to a TV and used tape recorders for storage. Eventually, I had a dot-matrix printer and could've gotten a 5" floppy drive if I really wanted. I've seen mice, modems and light pens. I've seen cable and broadcast tv system's audio channel used to broadcast binary data when station wasn't broadcasting regular programming (would that be predecessor to cable modems?) We would record audio to tapes and then load them back into computer.
There were clones of 286 PC's as well (Poisk), although that was just about when I moved to this side of the ocean..
There were also completely original computers with BASIC or FORTRAN interpreter as "operating system".
Create an ODBC source in Control Panel, entering all necessary information for your Unix/MySQL Server.
Create all necessary tables in MySQL.
In Access, New, Link Table, Files of Type: ODBC, choose your just-created ODBC source, choose your tables.
You now have all your MySQL tables accessable just if they were Access tables. You can create forms, reports, whatever, using data stored in MySQL. Only thing you can't do is modify table schema from Access - and if you do that from within MySQL, you need to refresh your table links (Tools, Database Utilities, Linked Table Manager).

Paying with cash is a sure way to attract more attention to yourself, not less. Don't be silly, government is not after you.
Additionally, most credit cards provide with additional lost luggage and life insurance when you use them to buy your ticket.
MySQL has had nested queries and everything else you listed for quite some time. Things move ahead - stop using 3 year old reasonings.

There is no way to have multiple AGP slots, but there are indeed boards with two PCI Express slots - for example, the infamous Asus A8N-SLI.

You, sir, are funny!
But otherwise (Python, for example) you have a point.
I picked up one of these Discgear things at a local discount store and it's been working pretty well.
Yea, well, I'd spend weeks to study and hours to take a test if I was allowed to drive like Germans.
Too bad that even if I was allowed there would still be someone doing 60 in the left lane in a 65 speed limit zone.
