I run a dual monitor setup at home and work, using Windows XP. I found a program called UltraMon that added much needed features. You can run 2 different screen savers, different wallpaper on the monitors, and gives you a handy little button to quickly move and re-size windows between monitors with one click.

Just like the chemical Freon, its a bad thing, but they'll wait till 3/4 of america has the product in use before they explain how evil it is. By then, you won't have a choice about using it, unless you want an expensive upgrade.
I spent the money on a shiny Sony PDA, and its sitting in its nifty cradle but, 5 years out of College, my trusty Casio graphing calculator is sitting on a stack of papers right in front of me.Big screen and easy buttons for all functions I need (no digging through sub-menus for them).
Anybody who would even be remotely interested in tube amps would use a digital out from the PC, and then into a preamp or tube amp to get away from the electrical noise going on inside a PC case. .
SNL Parody commercial was true..

I guess the Saturday Night Live commercial about the elderly getting robot insurance to protect against robot attacks gained some credability.

Wow! Picked up my copy of Fortune and read a great article that got me all excited about their product, then I come home and find out that I'll never get to see it! It would've been nice to get a couple of days to dream! .
Hell, the last company I worked for had internet access so locked down, that it took me 4 months of working there (contract employee) to get net access, and I was in the pc support department! Its pretty hard to explain to somebody that you can't fix their computer for a couple hours, because you can't download a driver till so and so comes back and opens their office so you can get net access! .
I can still remember the words of the Circut City guy.... "A 40MB hard drive is HUGE! You will never be able to fill that up..." And that was only like 6-7 years ago.

My JVC VCR gets the time off of the cable. It sets itself automaticlly. One of the main reasons for purchasing it.

I don't give a rats ass if they use my signal, if it means I can get to work on time.

That's like comparing an ice sculptor to the guy that works at the ice plant. They both make shapes of ice right?

Now I won't look suspicious when I set up my video equipment in the theater!

Actually, small footprint systems, of any price, matter to some of us. If it dosen't matter to you, then don't read the article.

Well all of this is nice, but it still isn't as easy as sticking a tape in the good 'ol VCR and typing in the VCR Plus number.
Newer isn't necessarily better
Sorry, you gotta try

Hmm.... New server huh? Can't connnect, so apparantly it can't take being slashdotted....
I know we're angry, unemployed techies, but I don't think we would blow up a place of reverence.
