Okay, I stand corrected after reading the gift page more closely than my initial, cursory glance: gift supports all file transfer networks, it seems.

Lately I've been just running the Linux CLI version of EDonkey2000. It's actually kind of fun using a terminal instead of a gui.it's at http://www.edonkey2000.com/downloads.php if you're interested.
http://mutella.sourceforge.net/ is another terminal client. It is more aesthetially pleasing than the Edonkey, but there seem to be less people there. I've generally had more success w/ Edonkey, but "your mileage may vary".
As was mentioned elsewhere in this page, gift (http://gift.sourceforge.net/) is another one, and it comes in CLI version as well as the gui. I haven't tried this one yet, but it looks like it uses its own network OpenFT, which could mean less people/files. Not sure if it also connect to other networks as well.
I keep a copy of Knoppix STD 0.1b in the drawer, and occasionally I boot it up, mount local & networked win2k partitions, and resume work as normal--I've done this for months w/ no prob's. The vanilla Knoppix will only mount ntfs partitions as ro, and gripes as well. Now, STD 0.1b has been out for a long time, so I assume that there must be a significant difference between the win2k & xp flavors of ntfs, and that this new hack pertains to the latter flavor?
grr found my pw now (/me posted anonymously before & wants my due karma). . .
jEDIT has a cornucopia of plug-ins, among which is a buffer tab (which I use, though more often I just ctl-pageup/ctl-pagedown). You can launch the plugin manager from w/in jEDIT & then select the plugins you want to install.
Hmmmm... looks like MSIE 5+ is still the only one that supports the XML data island stuff, which is truly sad. I want to play around w/ developing xml web apps more, but the browser support for it still seems to be Windows MSIE-only. It's funny, MS is derided all the time, but things like this still speak well of at least some of their stuff. IE 5 is like how old, & yet the XML parser which came with it is still AFAIK without peer. I'm frankly shocked that Moz isn't pursuing XML support as well as MS (of course, MS' reported bastardization of XML for Office 2003 documents does seem to bely that statement).
But Moz 1.3 does have better support for dhtml stuff like Netwindows.
LOL your sig says it all--"artsy". Flash is all about the glossies, the marketing, the slick design. It's about style over substance.
As JimDabell mentioned, when I use my browser, I like to interact with the web pages in the efficient manner afforded by the browser interface (i.e. mouse gestures, ctrl-f, ctrl-c etc.). Flash robs me of this, and I am relegated to the position of a child watching mtv. I resent this.
Flash is the panacea for obssessive designers who agonize over the fact that their web page design does't render consistently over different browsers. They cannot tolerate the fact that the pixel-perfect design which they toiled over is secondary to the content.
I wish those designers would pursue writing standards-compliant, valid html in its current form rather than authoring in flash. I would rather that the World Wide Web Consortium, not Macromedia, dictate web standards.
Also, I find it ironic that some people deride others' disdain for flash as being archaic, while they themselves cite deprecated html.
Yeah, I remember the painful experience of trying the Staroffice database a long time ago. I would only use Star/Open for accessing preexisting databases. Actually, if I'm not mistaken, isn't OpenOffice lacking that awful Staroffice database? Not like I went looking for it in OpenOffice, but I know they pruned out a lot of StarOffice stuff . . .
Win2k/OpenOffice 1.0 user here (/me ducks), so I know my experience doesn't quite apply to the situation at hand . . .
Anyway, I set up the mysql odbc driver, and when writing web applications I routinely use OpenOffice to browse around several mysql servers on my intranet by just starting a blank spreadsheet & then clicking "view data sources", where I have added a few data sources which point to the corresponding win2k ODBC DSN's.
I just last week dragged a mysql table from the "view data sources" pane into a spreadsheet & saved it as an excel file for a secretary to clean up. When she sends it back, I'll save it as csv & then do a "load data infile blahbhlahblah". It feels like cheating, but heck, it works.
I have been told that digital photographs are inadmissible as evidence in legal matters--not sure about this, though. But it makes sense, given that a digital image is more easily altered.

Hmmm.. my mouse gestures still work (running win2k).
