Didja' know that in Firefox, Ctrl+Tab lets you move between tabs?

Isn't that a Windows interface standard?

Google Wave looks very interesting.

Moved over from Natter as the idea occurs to me:

So I've been thinking of getting a netbook for taking with me on my work trips--when I go for more than a day, I HAVE been taking my macbook, but it's soooo heavy to take two computers. But there are sites I really don't like to go to on my work computer (and heck, sites I do to that I probably SHOULDN"T). So I figure a netbook would be a great compromise. That'd be pretty much all I use it for--websurfing on the road.

Most of the hotels I stay in have wifi (or some have ethernet). But I was thinking on how in airports and stuff, I'd probably end up wanting to use the work computer anyway, since I have a cellphone card for it, and bah, doesn't that end up defeating the purpose of surfing on teh netbook, and suddenly was all 'Heyyyyy....could I use the cellphone card on the netbook?" I don't have one of those shiny NEW cellcards that's a USB stick, sadly (and since I'm riding under the radar on even having the company pay for it at the moment, no chance of trading in for one), I"ve got the older school big flat slot kind. I don't even know what that slot is called. Can someone help me, so I can figure out if any of the netbooks would even HAVE that slot, so I could maybe use it, on them? Because THAT would be SWEET.

Ctrl-Tab moves between open applications in Windows, I thought.

Alt-Tab moves between applications. Ctrl-Tab moves between tabs.

Ah, got it. I switch back and forth so often these days I can't keep the "keys that do stuff" names straight in my head anymore.

I sometimes have to adjust when switching back and forth, too. Though these days I'm mostly Mac. I need to get my Windows machine running again, so I don't get too rusty. Maybe I should even finally install Vista.

And since I also have a Mac Mini not doing anything, maybe I should try to get an Ubuntu machine going again.

Don't install Vista, Sean. Windows 7 (which I've seen, as our IT director is running beta) trumps it. And it won't require Vista as a precursor for upgrade.

The minimum system requirements for Windows 7 are kinda steep though. I've been meaning to install the beta on one or two of my machines and I can't put it into my test machine until I increase the RAM.

I'm also running Vista on two of my machines and WinXP on the rest of them. Vista has been just fine on machines that are fast enough and with a good amount of memory. It seems to be lower spec'ed machines that choke on it.

java, I thought Windows 7 did require Vista installation. I heard that on cnet 1-2 months ago, but maybe they had bad info.

I thought so too, but my IT guy told me otherwise. I'm on vacation now, but will confirm when back in office.
