@y0urm0msname: Yeah, it seems like they go out of their way to be incompatible with the real world! At least now we know better.

@Bill Clark: Um, close, but no cigar ;) No, I had no idea that I couldn't use my monitor arm until I got the monitor. More to the story:

@Toastie: Find out whether water is included or if you should be paying. I ended up representing a former boyfriend in small claims court over this. Of course we won ;) but it really wasn't worth all the effort.

Can I vent here? For sure someone here can empathize with how useless Dell is.

@TheFu: Thanks guys! A lot of options to consider. I will pour over [GRC.com] and [chilispot.com] to see if I can work it that way. If not, maybe a flock of birds will attack my router and justify a new one (j/k). Some work to be done. I'll report back after I have time to review stuff. I'm actually thinking if…

@Bonsai_halcyon: Simple to make, too! [www.ehow.com]

@soggy_cheerio: how did you know I was looking at that specific router? Is it easy enough for someone like me to deal with? Does it perform well?

@Bonsai_halcyon: even better, almond butter on whole wheat bread. Yum! :)

@Buster Friendly: I was sort of thinking that, too. Is it okay to have a different SSID for a second AP? They don't have to be the same? (I'm kinda slow on the networking stuff.)

@greasypigarvin: Quinoa? [en.wikipedia.org]

Everyone who comes to my house wants to use my wireless. Is there an easy/inexpensive (with emphasis on the inexpensive) way to set up a second access point or SSID with a guest account so that I don't have to give out my main password?

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: does this help? [office.microsoft.com]

@e-gadgetjunkie: Found this over the weekend, for sure it can be modded? [www.solutions.com]

sorry wrong thread

Anyone ever try the keyboard on a HTC Touch Pro2? (note: the TP2 version, not the original)

@kettlewhistle: Have you checked [www.thecompanystore.com] ? They tend to have a good assortment of non-feminine stuff, plus a puppies and plaid combo (scroll down the page) ;)

@cdb273: Do you do a lot of traveling around? I love these, you can "lock" them to your chair, or if you're doing serious traveling, you can secure them (check the specs) in your hotel room: [www.pacsafe.com]

@Andrew.Barge: awesome! I'm wondering if maybe they fixed this? I just installed (in 2 sec flat) my new keyboard and am typing with no registry change...I had regedit all out and ready, but so far so good...is there something I should check?

@orderfromchaos: lol yeah, I hear ya, people come into my office for chocolate and immediately say "iiiick, it's that dark stuff!" I recently found a Trader Joe's dark chocolate that isn't ridiculously dark, plus has hazelnuts for a tinge of nutty sweetness, that I highly recommend. Oh, and Lacey's makes a mean dark…

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: Niiiice! The poppy could use a tiny bit of transparency, though. Keep up the great work!
