They have a broad range of item types from gears to air hoses, but a bit narrower selection than say Berg or SDPSI. Plus they're past catalogs have featured some pretty wicked Rube Goldeberg contraptions. smallparts.com
I installed a trial version of Windows Onecare (fed up with norton) simply because for $50 i can cover all 3 pc's we own. Not being a huge MS fan, I have to admit it's been relativley painless so far. It did show IE7 as a high priority update, and I finally gave in, since I want the little Onecare taskbar icon to be green rather than 'warning yellow' 24/7. The interface looks nicer, but I'm still only going to use it for the MS's IE only websites, I'm simply more comfortable and familiar with Firefox. Haven't yet moved from FF1.5 for the same reason.
Only drive I ever had crash was a Western Digital 74GB Raptor which died after 1-1/2 years of 24/7 on time. Having a five year warranty, WD overnighted me a replacement at no cost (just had to return defective drive). Been working great ever since.
If they've got some good lobbyists (hopefully this time), they may argue for keep more money in the US via the reservations. If the congress really had any sense they'd set up a lotto-style system where a percentage of winnings (or x% of antes) goes to, oh say education (imagine that!).

I knew they were more efficient, but the numbers are pretty staggering.
CFL's are the next wave... until LED's become cost effective for mojor lighting tasks
I'm sure the porn industry could do quite well with interactive motion controllers...
