Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I've never used a folding editor, but it looks intriguing.
Since we got all new work computers, we have the latest version of SQL Server Management Studio, which now has folding. I don't know how we survived without it (we tend to have these huge stored procedures from hell).
Hmmm... maybe I'll play with the demo of TextMate and see if it's worth $56 to me.
Notebook++ is awesome. I use it all the time too. Most of what I do is in IDEA (which is the best Java editor ever) or Eclipse, but for just looking at a file Notebook++ is my go-to program.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a good portable hard drive? I want a back up for uploading music.
I have this one.
It is quiet and has worked great for me. Oddly, the price has gone up since I bought it. Maybe I got it on sale.
Does anyone have any experience running Quicken for Mac off a flash drive?
I'm taking over the accounting for my coop and want to make our bookkeeping as portable as possible.
[eta: I've found several sites that say Quicken will not run off a USB drive, but they are all talking about the Windows version.]
Does anyone have a suggestion for a good portable hard drive? I want a back up for uploading music.For a back up drive, I'd want one that has a 5 year warranty on the drive, not a one year. It will cost a bit more, but something to consider. A lot of the Segates have 5 year warranties.

Apple Touchscreen Netbook to Launch in October at $800?
Taiwanese news site InfoTimes reports [translation] that Apple is slated to debut its long-rumored netbook this October. Taiwanese companies Foxconn, Wintek, and Dynapack have reportedly received orders from Apple related to the manufacturing of the new device.
The report notes that Apple is looking to adopt a 9.7-inch touchscreen for the new netbook, slightly smaller than the 10.1- or 10.2-inch screens typically used at the large end of the netbook range.
...
Exact pricing remains unknown at this time, but the inclusion of a touchscreen and Apple's history of refusing to compete at the lowest price points suggest that the netbook may be priced at around $800.

Question: about, oh 2 hours ago, while running the installation for McAfee I got a message that said, "Please ait while Windows configures McAfee VirusScan Enterprise" and the time remaining said 30 seconds.
Do I need to re-install since it's been hanging for 2 hours?
Try ctrl-shift-esc to bring up the Task Manager and see if it is still running any processes?
