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 really like GV - I used it when it was grandcentral. If I could send and receive faxes, I would be golden.

Gmail's drag&drop label update broke my Folders4Gmail extension. Anyone know if there's a workaround for this?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I don't use Folders4Gmail, but there's an "older version" link at the top of the page that you might try -- with the disclaimer that I don't know how old the older version in question is or whether it breaks anything else you need.

Yeah, that version is pretty old - not quite flat HTML, but close enough.
I'm sure the Folders4Gmail people will have an update soon.

Art Crawl!!!
I use the older version all the time at home, because my dial-up connection cannot handle the newer version.

Eh, worth a try, I guess. I'm just cranky and annoyed that it broke the Labels on the Right lab feature, or rather that it did so without an option to move my calendar widget to the right to balance the page (which is what I'd really prefer anyway).

Ha, was just about to post here about the Folders4Gmail breakage. Blecch.

THINKING MACHINES ARE GETTING SMARTER (Oct, 1958)
It's interesting to me that accounts of computers in the 1950s and 1960s tended to really anthropromorphize computers - something that didn't stop until personal computers became common.
