The old white ones, yeah? The wires always go where they connect to the mouse. Although I'm still using mine 5 years down the line, but we've had at least 3 die the same way in work.
http://www.kingzog.co.uk/; all done in Photoshop. I'm so used to the interface that if I need to do something new, nine times out of ten I can just figure it out intuitively. Even though these days I mostly only use the paintbrush and some adjustment layers, I can never get comfy with GIMP for painting.
I've got a history degree, and the most important thing it taught us was to read documents with a high degree of cynicism - ie, to detect bias, bullshit and distortions, and try to understand what the writer wanted us to think. I've found this incredibly useful when reading reports, technical or otherwise. It also teaches you to research stuff on your own, which is something not every IT techie I've trained knows how to do.
So don't knock Medieval History, it's not that useless.
Triggers, Sprocs, views, and a vastly better set of front-end tools, plus DTS. I like MySQL, don't get me wrong, but Slashdot doesn't demand extreme levels of data integrity (nor does any such website). In fairness I've not used PostgreSQL or Oracle, so my opinion is limited.
Good luck is all I can say...
We have Office 2000 installed, with Access XP and Outlook 2003. Trying to upgrade anything is a nightmare (especially as the bosses refuse to license any of this software, and thus it's single-user copies all the way - (yes, I have secure copies of memos from them telling me not to buy licensing!)).
You can try deploying these things via Group Policy - it's possible to add a new program or patch and tell Active Directory that it upgrades or patches a previously assigned program. However, your mileage may vary (we're still failing to get Outlook to install successfully via GP).
Slashdot Mirror
Does it?? I don't remember PS ever doing this to me. PaintShop Pro does it tho'.

Oh? Ah well, fair play then. ;) My boss used to be a hairdresser, which has to top Medieval History :D
