You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, we're about to install Windows 7 on a ten year old Dell workstation so we can test a web application using IE9. (That's all we'd need it for for now.) The Dell system has an AGP graphics card slot. We are wondering if we should get a newer AGP graphics card that will work with Windows 7, as the current graphics card only supports VGA cables and seems to have trouble driving a new LCD monitor at the correct resolution. (Otherwise, Dell tells us the current card will work with Win 7; it just won't support Aero.)
But I'm wondering if finding a newer Win 7 compatible AGP card might be too much of a PITA. Also, I'm not sure if the Dell's power supply is powerful enough. Any ideas? Anyone have experience running an AGP machine with Win 7?
edit for clarity.

This is me.
But I'm not sure I wouldn't be the same as sarameg with a Touch. It's one thing to remember to carry my phone with me all the time. I'm probably not going to do that with a second gadget.

I got an itouch a while back - and I just never have used it as much as I did my nano nor as much as I do my iphone. So, I play games on my iphone constantly. Seriously, I plug it in overnight by my bed so I can play a little pocket frogs before I go to sleep. I seem to use it as a phone much less than I thought I would.
OTH, not that many people call me so I shouldn't be surprised.

I haven't used an AGP with Windows 7, but I'll bet a DirectX 9 card like this would do the trick.
Power shouldn't be a problem if it's currently driving a AGP card, a NVIDIA 6200 can be passively cooled so it can't be drawing too much. Anyhow there's only so much power it can draw off the bus, if it doesn't have an extra power plug like powerful PCIe cards do, then I don't think it should be problem.

I use my iPod Touch all the time. To check on e-mail and websites when I'm not near my computer at home and quite a bit as a MP3 players. I also blow up pigs from time to time.

Anyone know how to edit the default message text in an Outlook custom form? I'm creating a form for the whole department to use and the damn thing won't give me a blank page - it keeps adding my signature. (Ideally, I'd like to add some template text, but baby steps first.)
