    Is that the one you download from http://notepad.org/ ?

  14. Re:LCD? No thanks! on Are CRTs History? · · Score: 1

    Yes. Any additional light reflecting off the surface of the monitor will create additional eyestrain as it accentuates the scan pattern and luminance falloff.

  17. Re:LCD? No thanks! on Are CRTs History? · · Score: 1

    Set your CRT to the highest refresh rate you can, or if you have a TV in the same room, set it to the same refresh rate [59.94 or 60 Hz NTSC, 50 Hz PAL/SECAM], however I suggest not having a TV in the same room. If you have multiple CRTs in the same room, sync them if possible [this includes TVs and other non-computer CRTs]. Turn down the ambient light.

    So the guys at Compaq who decided a folding case like the LAPTOP would be better than the heavy lunch box style case of the PORTABLE Computer series weren't doing anything nerdy?

  23. Re:Serial Numbers on Software Companies and Lost Serial Numbers? · · Score: 1

    No, you just proved that you licensed the software, not that the license came with that specific key. Also, legally, wouldn't they have to prove that you didn't license it?
