Working with tables in PowerPoint is also a pain in the ass.
Is this a Windows 7 thing? Or a new Office thing?
I have to admit to taskbar confusion, though. I could not find my Windows Explorers for the longest time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Possible - it all got upgraded at once by IT so I could be confusing things.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm shopping Dells, mostly because work uses Dells and I hate having to lug double the peripherals around home, office, travel, etc. Shopping for one of the little Dells for my ex-housemate and a cheap personal laptop for me. I gave my old Dell laptop to the boyfriend when his laptop broke and I dropped my beloved old IBM onto a hardwood floor to its death.
The main reason I even need a personal laptop is to manage my iTunes. I don't keep any personal files on my work machine, and all of my iTunes are on an external harddrive. I haven't been able to update my iPod since February and it's starting to bug me.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I'm not upgrading to Windows 7 at least until ProTools has been upgraded to play nice with it (the Win 7 compatible version is currently in beta). But if I intend to upgrade eventually, then I might as well get it for cheap when I can, right?

Jon, there may be a counterargument, but I can't think of one.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I'd say there's not a big downside. They'll release updates for free so if there's major functionality that gets improved on later, you'll still get it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
If anyone else has a 5th gen Nano, do you know how to get to the sound equalizer? I've been providing phone support for my sister. I told my her to go to Settings and look for EQ, but she claims it's not there. Googled, checked iLounge and the Mac website, but no love yet.
Ta!

Outlook search was broken in Office 2007 - nothing to do w/ the OS as far as I know. (My office is still on XP.)
The search functionality that used to be accessible from the taskbar is now filed under something arcane like Tools-->Advanced Search-->Instant Find. (There may be a way to customize the taskbar, but it's not available in my corporate installation and it drives me maaaaaad.)

I can find the search function but what I can't do is get it to search subfolders. So in personal folders, I can search anything that's loose in that folder (nothing) but none of the chain of subfolders (hundreds) that follow.
It's a nightmare. If I remember very specifically what project I was working on and when something came up, I can go to that subfolder. But if it's more like "okay, Nancy sent me some good material on OSHA EMR ratings for something around 2007, maybe an oil company" I have to dig through a dozen folders that might apply to. And then if was an auto company instead I'm screwed anyway. Previously I could just type in EMR and search them all at once and get a reasonable number of hits to sort through and pinpoint something.
