@agent888: or Parietal Disgorgement Aid.

I am totally stealing "The Bounty of the Intertubes". Just so you know.

Nice to see another toold built in to the OS. I look forward to when an MS OS contains a full version of a professional video editing package, thus preventing me from having to make a choice about which one to buy.

My Dad had an Amstrad word processor which booted off the 3" drive. It stopped booting because the drive's rubber belt had perished (it was that old!). GBP1.50 and a stamped addressed envelope to this guy got me a new belt which I replaced with tweezers.

VOTE: Pidgin

@stevelove: Where do you put the milk and sugar? ;)

@GertrudeKabobber: I agree. With a simple strainer you have the same effect. Although I use teabags, being a low Englishman.

@Xanderificus: good idea

Outlook 2003 at work, so no joy for me. What I would love is a way to print my Outlook calendar in the style of David Seah's compact calendars.

@MarthaHorn: Same again here, the surveys often miss an obvious (to me) choice.

So you have to follow the damn thing, and the layout of the site is crappy and forces me to scroll down to click a button after reading a single line of text. Pah.

This problem is the bane of my life. I have managed to become the office style fixer for my colleagues. I try and educate them.

I remember dropping out of Windows to play games. In fact more often than not I would reboot using a special floppy with tailored [autoexec.bat] and [config.sys] to squeeze the most memory out.

I use it, but I could live without it. Therefore my answer had to be "other".

It seems to have stopped working for me on IE6 on Windows (at work, I have no choice*). I can't click on an item to edit the category. A shame, it had been good for a couple of months.

@nbenko: I thought this was 30 seconds too long! 30 seconds of (muted in my office) yelling, before we see the actual tip.

Ububtu for me. Tried Mandrake a long time ago, just to see. Then Ubuntu made it simple and everyone was talking about it, and I don't have the time or energy (or independence?) to change.

@John: An extension of that is to tag your stuff "wishlist" in Delicious, then view your wishlist at Delishlist.com, which allows extra tagging for price, date wanted, rating etc.

Philosophies of Lomo? Buy a trademark, then threaten people who sell the cameras direct from the manufacturer, rather than buying it from Lomography for 5x the manufacture price.
