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

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

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.

Archos 9 PCtablet netbook runs Windows 7

Huh. I'm not gonna run out and buy one but perhaps this could be an alternative to a conventional netbook?

The ARCHOS 9 PCtablet is the ultra portable PC; extremely thin, just 0.63", and ultra lightweight, less than 22.29 oz. The ARCHOS 9 pushes the boundaries of style and function.

With a full touch-sensitive 9" screen, users can enjoy a comfortable computing experience. The resistive screen allows emails and documents to be composed easily via a built-in virtual keyboard. The innovative optical trackball and buttons allows easy navigation on screen, and provides an uncompromised PC experience.

The ARCHOS 9 features the new Z515 Intel® processor, Microsoft Windows 7® Operating system and an integrated multimedia platform that uses WiFi 802.11b/g connection and Bluetooth 2.1 for extremely fast computing anywhere, anytime.

No mention of price. Available this fall.

Windows/Screen sharing question (mind you, I can use Windows, just not super Windows savvy)

As we move into the new building, I want to reallocate an old computer to monitor the wireless mics at mix position AND backstage. As I understand it, the application is nominal on resources, just uses a network connection. But I'd love for that ability at the (2) locations. So I was thinking either a KVM share type of thing, or maybe a netbook doing a Windows Screen Share type of thing. Can a cheap netbook do that type of thing? Thinking maybe the netbook could be useful for other projects as needed. Or would a decent KVM be cheaper and a better option?
