@TheFu: 2nd that!

Hidden and use Rocketdock. Vertical is gimped enough as it is with these stupid monitors now days.

@Marand: I would take Bill, he's retired... Well that and he has way more money ;)

I've been running networks (Windows, Linux, and some AIX for Catia and what not) for 15 years and not only has the pay sucked, the stress can be mind blowing at the wrong company.

I don't understand how in this day and age people don't have one of these. They are insanely cheap and beyond easy to install.

@GumbyX: The two things they focus on are 3d and OSX integration (visually).

@GumbyX: Try reading the article it references... It's about Fusion, Parallels, and VBox.

@Bryan Hoefer: I'll check it out, thanks!

Like most people in the comment FileHippo.

@Demonicume: I installed Chrome on my wife's old laptop for the same reason, but luckily it died so we got to get rid of it.

@TehBeardMan: It's free untill 2013 I believe, but after that who knows.

@JarasM: Unless the browser is made to do well in specific tests rather than being faster in general.

Browsers have been doing what graphics makers have been doing for ages, make a product which excels at the standard benchmarks.

@wjglenn: I hear ya there, I just keep thinking "It will only get better". I'm going to try and get off of my ass and get glasses and contacts this week and go from there.

SlideScreen: I love the interface, but being on Sprint is a problem. Reason being it is constantly updating "something" and when it is I miss texts and even phone calls. It also seems to do a number on my battery. Other than that, I really do dig the interface and maybe I just need to give it another go, but this time…

@bornonbord: Thanks! I can't really tell if they have been getting worse or if I just notice it more now because I'm paying attention... I'll start at the eye docs though and go from there.

@Buster Friendly: hahah

So my eyes have been getting progressively worse more so over the last 3-5 years. I've been on the fence about heading in for a consultation to get lasik, but I haven't been able to talk myself into it as of yet.

@TehBeardMan: I agree there, I think the only thing it should influence is your debt to credit ratio.
