Extensions are great until Chrome got AdBlock (blocks advertisements) Chrome was a nonstarter. Another one I love is Lazarus which saves text in forms so I don't lose posts. Also Lazarus is hilarious when it cashes (not very often) and Chrome asks me if I want to restart it.

I use Xmarks which syncs my bookmarks across browsers and computers. Chrome's Xmarks extension was incredibly buggy and deleted/duplicated my bookmarks several times.
In addition, I use 1password to keep track of my passwords and there is no chrome extension for this. When they get 1password, I might try chrome again. I liked it because the xmarks no 1password thing made it an absolute nonstarter.

Does someone have a favorite online fax service? I have an eight page .pdf I need to fax to the IRS and I am having trouble with my usual suspects. I am willing to pay, just irritated. My other option is to try to duct tape and baling wire my Vonage to work with my mobile internet.
I think I need to spend the money and get that router. But I might need to replace my dongle anyway, because it fell off the couch along with the SO's laptop that it was plugged into, when we jumped up at one of the Blackhawks goals. Oops. So maybe I should look at that whole thing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
eFax has worked brilliantly for me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wow, Chrome is noticeably faster than IE and Firefox on my XP work computer.
Years ago I read that a new computer has to be at least 40% faster for someone to notice the speed improvement.

“Not dead yet!”
Question for any of the Mac laptop users. Back when I had my first Mac laptop (a G3) I used to be able to replace the hard drive icon with an image of my choice. Is there anyway to do that with any of the new MacBook Pros? I've tried with the last 3 I've had and haven't had any success.
ETA: figured it out.
