Yes, I was expecting google to come out with a few more updates at a faster pace. There were too many issues that prevented me from using it to become my primary browser (flash/shockwave video freezing/crashing, rendering issues with a few sites).
I still use the incognito feature for por... I mean, for banking.
Right on Doug.
My wife is also an agent. From many of our experiences, FSBO homes rarely return calls within 72 hours of trying to show them. And many FSBO homes are not ready to be seen by the public.
While agents do spend some time getting the house ready and taking pictures and slapping some photos on the MLS, most of the work is done while negotiating and closing a deal. It is fairly high intensity, and most of the issues, unfortunately, exist because most other agents are horrible at their job. They are the people who give agents a bad name and certainly are not worth the commission.
So many times I've seen agents misrepresent their client, looking out for their own paycheck. Those types of agents don't last long in the business thankfully.
There is nothing wrong with a FSBO, but most people who have jobs and kids do not have the time, energy, organization, experience or patience to properly present their home to the buyer, manage appointments, schedule inspections, appraisals, negotiate, understand contract law and just get all the necessary obligations fulfilled like a full time real estate agent can.
Most buyers these days do start their home search on the internet. But so often, people have no clue what they REALLY want in a home. The first step for a buyers agent is to help them make decisions on what is best for their current and future needs (and lining them up with a GOOD mortgage lender so that they understand the in's and out's of the lending process).
If buyers do not find an agent to represent them, they will be working with the listing agent, who certainly does not have their interest in mind. Furthermore, in order for the buyer to secure a wise purchase, a real estate agent will be able to point out all kinds of issues that an untrained eye would never notice. ("You can get a good look at a T-Bone by sticking your head up a bull's ass, but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it!"). If you want someone (a professional) to take liability and responsibility for your largest investment, most average joe's don't have this experience, which is what makes a real estate agent a necessity.
Do you really need a NAS? I bought the Thecus 2050 RAID box (http://www.thecus.com/products_over.php?cid=10&pid=3). It's fast, expandable and transportable (i keep a second one in a safety desposit box). Supported harddrives are limited, but you can get two solid 500GB's and slap them in there, run RAID 0/1, and it just plugs into an included eSata 2.0 PCI card. I have 2 of these boxes, they are about $130/piece and they are faster than my internal Sata drives. IF you need to have availability to them on the network, just share them over the computer you have them plugged into.
You can get 2 WD 500GB's for 100-130/piece: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=WD5000&x=0&y=0
I never understood why non-enterprise networks ever would need NAS? just use network sharing from your main (server) computer.
Destroy the plastic skin before the T-1000 can come back from the future to grab it and the cybernetic arm and CPU and return to the future to ensure its existence.
I was pulling my hair out from my previous e-mail provider (NetSol) -- we operate on POP3 client (All Thunderbird) and were having problems with receiving mail, the SMTP, and loads of email not getting received by end user due to corporate spam blockers (spam assassin was the biggest culprit).
I'm moved our 10+ e-mail addresses to gmail, and with the sweet filters, I can set up our auto responders to do cool stuff without leaving an extra Thunderbird running on a server to do auto replys and all kinds of cool stuff. Most importantly, haven't had a single issue with spam blockers or sending or receiving email through Thunderbird.
I could give 2 sh!ts if google indexes and reads my email. It is an awesome service for free, and I never have to worry about clearing the mailbox with 2gb. Plus, unlike my crappy webmail from NetSol, we can access email from our non-pda phones on mobile gmail.

still, shockwave (including youtube videos) seems to blow up a bit too often for me.
