... comes back running... is it here yet?... nah.

Ehhh... hello? anybody here? are you all watching your Joost? oh, crap... i'm missing all the fun... this guys didn't even leave a can to kick in here... Man!

@sdbeach:

I keep always a fresh copy of Hiren's Boot CD (just in case) also an iso on the desktop.

Things missing:

OK... since i do not know about bootup sounds on the mac (i do not have one) i can comment though that normally every laptop PC i have seen so far can be muted while loading the welcome screen (or loading screen from windows 98 down).

Word 2007 is actually a lot better, I think, than 2003.

You know what's unpolite (does not matter what's your gender)? not being yourself.

The thing that i do not get is why that cover repository you mention (which we all love) hasn't come up with a software client. You input movie and format, it gets a list, you see previews of the covers available, you click and download, and then print.

"Just when you finish setting up the perfect idiot proof PC, nature has a way to surprise you developing a new kind of idiot"...

Smile, this makes people who look at you smile back.

I usually go with the "Asume I'm not here" sign. If somebody ignores it, i just point at it.

The main difference between those two (which i studied in order to select one service for my website) is that you get to select the music you like and create several (if not infinite) playlists.

If you are seeking something that kinda looks like it but it's less "i know my way around" oriented take a look here

Hassle of burning a CD??? Why that's taking things a bit too far.

Adam take this quote into account:

There's the Hiren's Boot CD which also contains a piece of software that reads and resets passwords from SAM files... This is a better option than decrypting yours.

Sorry Gina, but to me it's kinda pointless to make new year's resolutions lists because:

Mess like the best or die like the rest!!!

How well does this work with drivers that require utility programs?
