    Save As in word

    being used to photoshop, i wish microsoft would use the ctrl+shift+s combo as the "save as" function... much easier that way.

    Vista rant

    yeah, i know. i just wish that i could just double click on an .exe file in osx and see it mount and install as would a .dmg or .pkg file, and all that jazz

    Vista rant

    nuf said banana - i have hackintosh on all my PCs right now. if only there was a software for mac that could run windows programs natively - i'm not talking about emulation, REAL native support. there are just some windows programs that i can't live without... like picasa for example. sure...

    cheap ipod alternative - better features

    read a review about a cheaper ipod alternative a few days back off cnet and the specs do look impressive. i'll head off to my usual gadget shop later and hope it's available for "window shopping". here's part of the article: It's been a long time coming as far as the UK's concerned, but...

    Vista rant

    i installed vista on my rig for two days and decided to revert back to xpsp2 - it is definitely NOT worth all the bells and whistles. i've heard good reviews with xpsp3, but what i have right now works. as the pun goes, "if it ain't broke, don't broke it"

    Very simple question about Windows ME

    believe me mate, it is worth the effort. just make sure you have a good antivirus setup running in your system, and you'll be golden.

    hmm... are you, by chance, on a company network? that can alter the process a little bit...

    Vista rant

    i installed vista on my rig for two days, and reverted back to xp thereafter. all the fancy bells and whistles is NOT worth it at all. i have hackintosh dual booted in my rig, so when i do my surfing, i'm on that. when i'm working (which is like 60% of my office time.... hehehe), i boot back to...

    OBAMA WINS (at last)

    i'd just like to keep an open mind to these things. i don't want any more disputes, even in forums - like my man gandhi, i choose to walk the path of passive resistance. sure, mccain has some pluses - that much is sure, and obama has some negatives, that much is certain, but a country has to...

    sorting excel with color tags

    (insert sheepish grin smiley here) brian, you have just made my excel reports 200% easier to make. you can't believe how i keep on imposing on my people to create a separate column and assign tags so that i can sort stuff easily, and yet the insist on using highlights - now i don't have to...

    My new (ish) gadget - Cowon Q5W

    i'm pretty sure that the radio signal suffers when you are "sandwiched" between buildings - you really can't rely too much on the radio signal on these things. i have a sansa fuze myself and radio signal is decent when i'm on my car, but suffers a lot when i get to the city, but i guess you...

    OBAMA WINS (at last)

    ditto. as the saying goes "to each his own".

    how to fix WinXP 1 minute boot lag

    doing some "manual" tweaks on run>msconfig< helps too. also, in your bios, there's usually an option to disable logos and all that junk - that shaves off a few seconds as well.

    Hypocrite

    when i think of a curly-haired prime minister, i think of "sandra bullock" :p

    OBAMA WINS (at last)

    i am no flower power advocate, but can't we all just get along? these pseudo-wars and all this hate spreading around is bringing a third world war right onto our doorsteps. we may think that it will have little effect here on the isles, but whoever wins in the US elections will impact us more...
