And here I was thinking HotMail went out with 486s. Gee, were have I been? Oh, yes, reading my Gmail.

I'm gonna wait for the portable. Anybody want to party with me?

I have seen large, flat round cast iron griddles at flea markets and yard/garage sales. Next time I'm going to fetch me one and try this out.

@mike_311: One of the most insightful comments I have read for sometime on blogs.

I wonder how Firefox would rate if say, 45 extensions were thrown into the mix? Let's face it: a bare bones Firefox is fast, but once you start adding customizations it will start to dawdle.

@djnrempel: I'll bite, too. Need a hive five on copying programs.

Well, I'm going to transfer the idea, if not the tool, to using my laptop. For some reason eating pizza and typing an email is not a marriage made in heaven, but keeping and eraser tipped pencil near by might save my keyboard from looking Hawaiian.

Thanks for the photo-guide. It would have been even better if a downloadable pdf file had also been made available.

I'm a lover of ClipMate but unfortunately it's not free.

Thanks for this idea. Now if some would only come up with a laptop pillow!

This ought to pay for itself in no time. Thanks.

Oh, pick me! Pick me!

Back in the day ... the swing was operated by a spring which you wound via a crank ... usually the parent. This was a plus/minus thing. A plus for the kid 'cuz you - the parent - couldn't just take off for so long. A minus for you 'cuz you - the parent - couldn't just take off for so long.
