Actually, you can. Hit Alt-Spacebar. Use the arrow keys to select Move (Two up-arrows, if you can't see it). Hit Enter. Use arrow-down key to move the window back into visible range.
Printing 500 page accounting reports on the photo-proof printer "This will only take a second" Five-hundred-meg pst files. Politics. Stop telling us why you hate XYZ and how they are a b*tch. Telling us how to do our job ("When are you going to linux? It's a better fileserver than NetWare") Using things like napster and gnutella, then complaining about how the internet connection is soooooooooo slow. "Why use the manual when we can ask the admin? Not like they are doing anything else." Right before scheduled downtime, the inevitable "Wait, no, the finanicals have to go out today!" "It's 5pm, you couldn't do it *before* now?" Eating our M&M supply. (We get a 2 lbs bag of M&Ms for every $400 worth of kit purchased) Wondering why the mail server is slow, then proceeding to forward a five meg movie of a monkey peeing into it's mouth to your coworkers. You know, there's a reason why it takes seven hours to backup the mail server.
Well, the Presarios are ugly half-attempts to copy the iMac (5000 series, anybody?) and the Deskpros are decent looking, but not wonders of industrial design.
The only really good Compaq case designs are the older Proliant towers, and the rackable Proliants.
Once again, I would like to say that the Presarios are amazing ugly and tasteless.
Windows 95 had a bug that would send MS a complete rundown of your hardware and directory tree when you registered, even when you unchecked the "Send Computer Info" box. MS said they were sorry, won't do it again, etc.
I've never had problems finding Compaq drivers; granted I usally work on DeskPros, not Presarios. If you can get one, the Compaq Support CD is godsend. It has drivers ("SoftPaqs") for every imaginable model of desktop, laptop, and workstation.
You can get things like that (ie: Netopia), but it's much cheaper for the provider to use a bridge instead of an intelligent routing device. I got a 3Com "No Customer Maintence" DSL bridge, but I use a BSD box for NAT and IPF.
According to the book I read (I think it was Apple by good 'ol Gil), the intel port was dropped because it was at the same time Apple was moving to PowerPC, and management didn't think they could successfully push two independent hardware platforms.
Fry's Electronics does the same thing, but (if you're lucky) they will put a little blue sticker on the box. If you ever shop at Frys, *never* buy something that has a return sticker, or has an ameteur shrinkwrap job.

That's a bit of knowledge from the 3.1 era.
And we thank you for:

This is exactly what I do when the callerid says "OUTSIDE AREA". However, the casket sales-people call right back.

Microsoft people put you on hold while they check with their supervisor.
Did you notice how a red Windows Evangalist will never drink pure water? Vodka. They drink vodka.
When PowerMacs fail their memory test, they play a sound of a car crashing and glass breaking.
I know! Just yesterday, I had to run to Fry's and get Microsoft English 2000 Pro so I could read this book (dead-tree) I bought at Amazon.
Meesa be thinking yousa should be reading the link before commenting.

(- this is a joke, moron! Everyone knows that NetBEUI is not routeable!)
I wouldn't put it past Microsoft.
- Turn off "desktop integration"
- Unmaximize SO window
- Open a dialog box, and try to move it beyond the bounds of the SO window. Look! It's stuck inside the SO window!
That's the only big thing about SO that bugs me though. It's a pretty decent office package, if you forgive its attempts to become your desktop.I've never had problems finding Compaq drivers; granted I usally work on DeskPros, not Presarios.

My scroll mouse moderated some people as offtopic. Hopefully this will undo the bad moderation.

Try building a Linux kernel (IE: 2.2.14) on a SparcStation LX, then you can talk about slow.

Visit Stileproject.com and then tell me it's a corporate web site.

Out of curiosity, how many boxes are used to keep the systems afloat? In my experience, Exchange seems to plateau around a thousand users per box.
It's not ugly, it's easier, it probably matches your existing equipment vs. a slimline Dell case.
My 20mhz Sun Sparc can handle decoding MP3s if I use the JointStereo option (Not like a Sun SpeakerBox is stereo, anyhoo) of mpg123.
... we create all kinds of wireless gizmos and read the USA section of CNN for laughs.
You get your news from a subsidy of AOL? Geez.
Between 10,800 and 16,300 rubles.
Why not say the same for Linux?
