Thrown out? hey, I'll be GLAD to "recycle" those laptops, feel free to send as many as you want to me. I'll make sure that they are passed on to people and schools that need them.

Not likley.. Outlook works on PC's Loaded with Windows..
This is only going to work on PC's Loaded with Linux Running XIMIAN/GNOME.. what about the KDE users? Sorry.. for there to be true competition to the M$ advantage a standard desktop for Linux is going to have to emerge.. right now the camp is too factioned.

Well, it's a good thing that for those of us with a COMPLETE brain still have shows like Farscape, and yes the aformentioned 'godawful Enterprise' which has been better in it's first season than ST:TNG was the first season and better than ST:Voyager was most of it's complete run , EXCEPT for it's theme song (what are they thinking! Get rid of the Rod Stewart'ish song and get something inspiring.).
While I wasn't too impressed with the first season of Andromeda, I caught the season finale and then really enjoyed the season premiere. I've been trying to catch it whenever I can. I look forward to seeing what changes occur, I believe that for a show to survive it CANT rely on getting a 'routine' down and following the same story over and over again, just changing the dialog a bit and putting a new alien (with something different on their face than the last weeks alien) as the bad-guy.
What we all need to do, is support whatever sci-fi show is on, it's the only way they'll keep creating them. Otherwise the airwaves will be taken over by Survivor knock-offs and Celebrity Weakest Link episodes.
Visual Age is what I use. It hasnt done me wrong, one of the best things I like about it is its de-bugging tool.. none of the other IDE's I have tried have one that is quite as usable.
another handy feature is it's Team respository, that makes collaboration easy.
These are some of my favorites

>LinuxJournal has a good overview article about linuxBIOS and where it's currently at (hint : moving like a sleek penguin under arctic ice).
.. last time I checked .. there were no Penguins under the Artic Ice .. so maybe you are saying that the LinuxBios is NOWHERE?
