@Bonsai_halcyon: 11 hours? I assume that means 9 hour work day (unpaid lunch) and an hour each way?

@ascoteton77: While I did have to go into the office every day, my commute was 3 miles round trip so having one car that gets 10mpg (down hill) and one that gets 18mpg didn't matter. The wife on the other hand drives 15-20 miles so she drives a car that gets 29mpg.

@EmcySquare: While I agree for the most part, for some of us this isn't an option.

@Jimbo: I use Live Mesh and love it (not the same topic I know, just saying).

@jeffk: What browser are you using?

For anyone out there that uses Google Docs, you should be using Zoho. It has nothing to do with getting off of Google, it has more to do with the fact that Zoho is light years ahead of GDocs, hell it's even better than OO.

@SWC Oxcart: Sweet, thanks man! I don't want to have to use Windowblinds and I can't take this white anymore... Every time I started looking into it I would see a slew of "fixes" that didn't pertain to what I needed and this seems to be on track.

This makes me miss Powerdesk Explorer...

@rpjrugby: I keep two images. One is post install with all of the latest updates (at the time) and one with everything as is. Once a week my system is re-imaged to a secondary array and if I don't feel like screwing around I restore the latest.

@pale_blue_eyes: While free is always great, I have to admit that I pay for Acronis. It's a great tool and worth the money.

@Rob Higareda: Are you sure about that? As far as I know it's a skin, but had hoped someone knew of a work around besides shutting down Aero or using something like Windowblinds.

@Mike-RaWare: You can't configure it within the GUI while using Aero.

@Rob Higareda & @SWC Oxcart: No, I mean the default window background color.

Nice, but it makes me want a gin and tonic!

The only time I would ever pick up the phone is when I needed something done RIGHT NOW or someone didn't understand what they needed to be doing.

@EracMan: It has a specific hardware set and will more than likely remain that way, you're better off going with a mainstream distro.

Meh, doesn't appear to be working for me, will have to reboot my phone and see if it's a bug. I just don't hear anything...

Kick ass!

@romnempire: Not unless you run the forum. Generally forums will run an archive version which is just text and easier to copy. It's a regular thing to see on vB forums and it's a little more rare with the freebee's.

@Bonsai_halcyon: We just crank ours up to 550 (in the winter, summer I grill it fan assisted on charcoal).
