Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

eFax has worked brilliantly for me.

Liese, I love maxemail. I think they have a free trial.

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.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

So, who's using Chrome as your primary browser?

It was very unstable for me on Vista, but now that I am using Windows 7 I haven't had any problems with it at all and it is back to being my primary browser.

I have replaced the HD in my laptop, and am reinstalling OSX. Laptop is happy again. Now I have a billionty-five updates to download and run, and three weeks of progress bars to watch.

Hey. New board.

I use Chrome both in Windows 7 and OS X. It is my one true browser, I think. I heart it immensely.
