"I sometimes wonder if I'm one of the last generations (I'm 34) who will have any solid grounding in grammar, spelling, and basic English constructs for the future."
Not quite the last generation. I, for one, would like to think I have good grammar (and I'm 16). There is a growing minority (yes, minority) of school-age kids who can spell correctly, who can write legible documents and who's work can be recognised as English. The majority are just lazy; mistakes like "should of" instead of "should have" are the most common - it's just a simple case of misunderstanding that can be remedied by good teaching. Standard English isn't dead just yet!
I like to keep my Powerbook silent and cool by placing it in a medium-sized ATX tower. Then I hook up the display to my CRT monitor which I place on my desk. Finally I attach an external mouse and keyboard and it's ready to roll!

Casettes play better in tape players than CD-Rom drives!
An oxymoron surely? ;)
Looks like we slashdotted it, and the NYUD cache gives an error.
If wearable computers become reality some people will be getting a little 'hot under the collar' :D

I asked BonziBuddy and he says not to get an anti-spyware solution.
