You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Works for me, Lee.

Is there anyway to move contacts from Outlook on one computer to another?

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

I don't use Outlook, so I asked my bosses.

Go to File : Import/Export and select "export to file." Then copy that file over to the new computer and do the same thing, except "import" this time.

The 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time

I don't think the the Apple Macintosh Portable deserves to be on that list. While it was quite heavy to be a laptop, it had an excellent screen for the time and ran for eight hours between charges. Not the best portable ever, perhaps, but not close to one of the 25 worst tech products ever.

Well, it was a big disappointment for those who were expecting something like the PC laptops out there. Also hella expensive. The first Powerbook (which came out shortly after) was much better.

But, you know, I like mine....

(Except it's one of the non-backlit models - the light has to be just right to read it.)

I think that WebTV deserved to be in the top 25. Not a "dishonorable mention."
