Actually the latest version of outlook (2003) has pictures in html turned off. If you open an email with pictures, the frame around the email has a notice saying "Pictures have been turned off in this email for privacy reasons. Click here to down pictures for this email." Clicking there puts up a warning box explaining in more detail this tactic fo puting links back to the sender. This feature is ON by default. I was very impressed at the eloquent solution to this problem.

Pre-Fab Homes?

· Score: 3, Interesting
Now here is the big problem I saw in pre-fabs: they are more like cars than homes, especially if you put them in an already established village. They depreciate. My wife and I were very tempted by them, but one of the things that eventually turned us off was how insistent our salesman was that he could get us _out_ of it when were were done with it. That's a selling point? Are they so hard to get rid of? Yah, we ran. Maybe things have changed since then but its worth looking into.
Now, if you are not going to move out from it, than yeah, maybe it could work out pretty good.
I think people don't give MS enough credit for where they stand even today, frankly. Agreed. One must remember, M$ has hundreds of the best and brightest operating system delvelopers newly graduated from school like MIT. They have been working tirelessly on these operating systems for YEARS as highly paid professionals in ideal development environments. This is not the M$ of 10-15 years ago.
My wife and I really enjoyed Final Fantasy 9 together. Most folks don't know you can play it w/ two controllers, each playing different characters in the battle sequences. She had never played an FF game before so at first I had to guide her every move: "down, down, square, square, up, square", etc. Later, as she got better, I would tell her who to attack and who to heal. Toward the end it was marital gaming bliss as she made her own choices of targets and commands. Way fun.
