With so many other great prog bands to choose from, I just gave up. You know, I have tried many times with Eloy, but they just don’t hold my interest.

I use Office2007 (why oh why did Microsoft do the ribbon interace?). I'll take a look into it but life is easier towards Google Docs when you're on iGoogle/Gmail for your stuff already.

This is a cool use of an online collaboration tool. If you use Excel you should look into Office Live Workspace. Rather than having to log into a website to save an updated spreadsheet, you can save an updated document directly from Excel. Cheers, Jeff MSFT Office Live Outreach http://workspace.officelive.com/Examples Hi JP-

On the down side, Jango has a smaller selection, they don't have Riverside as an example. Moved on to Jango.com – Deezer is not bad but the U/I and list management is better on Jango.

Laptop hunting. by jphebert http://jphebert.wordpress.com/2008/12/27/vista-64-bit-any-good-stick-with-xp-windows-7-laptop-hunting/#comment-283 jphebert Sat, 10 Jan 2009 13:31:22 +0000 http://jphebert.wordpress.com/?p=182#comment-283 I can't (yet) agree - for common app usage (Office, Firefox, etc.), this monster of performance does not bring anything worth noticing on Vista x64. It kinda performs like my trusty old single-core laptop (DC4270CA from HP running XP). I expect to see the gain when Windows 7 releases - which I will try soon in a VM.

Amazingly fast. the best benchmark I have is the use of Adobe Photoshop CS4 which uses to gigs of ram itself. I gave it 4 gigs and have four left over to run the rest of my computer. IN addition to this I have had a gig of ram on a video card that also drives it. I have found drivers for all of my printers and all of my other gadgets without a solitary hitch. 64 bit is here to stay and I will be damned if it does not smoke 32 bit computers by a mile. Photoshop loads up and runs Stacks in photoshop in roughtly 45 seconds. Every 32 bit computer I have tried this on takes roughly 8-10 minutes. Its a no brainer bro stick with 64 bit.
