They actually made it pretty....
Angel: Is that what you think you are--a hero? Spike: Saved the world didn't I? Angel: Once. Talk to me after you've done it a couple more times.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I don't need pretty. I need don't-frell-up-the-good-features-you-already-had-by- adding-a-bunch-o'-useless-crap.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't need pretty, although I sure do like it.
But pretty looks more OSXish, and that makes me laugh. I like OS X and all that, but my Windows boxes do not use the XP skins--they use the 2000 one.

Mine, too. I dislike both the XP and OS X boxes.

Yeah, I go for the "Windows classic" look, myself. Although I do turn on the web-like one-click activation (select on mouse hover). My mouse hand gets sore really easily, due to an old broken metacarpal, so if I can reduce my amount of mouse clicking by %50, I will.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My co-op building's annual shareholders' meeting is coming up, and this year it promises to be extremely mathy.
My Treo has a built-in calculator that can do amortization calculations, but I can't figure out how to use it. It lets you input any four of these five variables, and it will solve for the other:
- PV
- FV
- Pmt
- APR
- N
Can anyone tell me what those variables mean?

Yes.
In order,
Present value, future value, payment (per period), annual percentage rate, number of payments.
eta: Typically, in a loan the present value is the amount of the loan and the future value is zero (if you're paying off the entire loan).

Ahh, I see why I was having trouble getting it to work. It wants the payment to be negative.

Yeah, either the payment or the present value has to be negative (depending on how you look at it) for a loan.

Don't go ruining my pettiness with your salient points....
Sean, can I tag this? It just made me snort.
