I like to keep mine down pretty low. I use AdBlock, del.icio.us, PasteQuote, and Web Developer.

I agree that the wood is really ugly! I don't really understand the complaints about bloglines' design. It could be cleaned up a bit but it's not too bad IMO. I certainly wouldn't switch just because of the design!

I've been wanting a tool to do that for years! Too bad I didn't know this in my windows days. (I'm a mac convert :))

I would think there would be diminishing returns when it comes to screen size. I just switched from a 1024x768 laptop to 1280x800 and it makes a big difference. But I would love to go up to maybe 1600x1200 but after that it seems like it might just be TOO much space.

I prefer just to use a laptop sleeve and put it in whichever bag I want to use for the day.

I can't even get logged into bloglines with my phone. I put in my (correct) login info and it takes me to another login page, with no indication of a problem or error. Very strange.

I use the star to mark mailing list threads I want to follow, to mark important emails I want to be able to find quickly, and to mark emails I want to be sure not to ever delete. I actually find the star feature quite useful and miss it when I'm using other email clients/interfaces.
