@Charles: Agreed. The unlimited space is what keeps me on Carbonite and no switching to Dropbox.

I already do something similar. I work for a large not-for-profit company in the IT department. We are always retiring computers because they no longer meet the minimum standard for what department needs might be but the computer still function just fine. With permission from my company, I rebuild the computers…

@Tsylord: Earn it back? You mean you lose them?

I became a star today, w00t! Happy Friday everyone.

Say I want to work from home therefore having better productivity due to less interruptions, how is that worth paying me less to a company? Shouldn't that merit and increase?

I use one on my website from this guy:

@xkl: I would. I never really got the hang of Songbird but I hear rants and raves about it all the time. MM is free but there is a pay-for version that supposedly kicks a$$.

@kimboinatl: Speaking of raking leaves, how do I rake leaves safely without running into 'trouble' that my dogs have left behind? That stuff is hard to spot in a yard full of maple and oak leaves.

@NumbersGuy: I have twins as well but that aside, any parent should not get their kids laptops for any reason until they are going to college. Letting them roam around the house and hide in their rooms with them at any age is a bad idea. Get a tower and put it someplace where you can keep an eye on them. They can…

@MacLife: If it's first gen I'm assuming it old. We have a similar problem with our old desktop workstations. Crack it open and blow the dust our of the fan and processor. Worked like a charm here. I'm guessing you may have some of the same.
