Two unrelated question. Windows 7. I switched to Chrome some years ago, because it crashed less and responded more quickly than Firefox. However, the interface grows less and less bearable to me, and add-ons to fix this get constantly broken by Chrome updates. How is Firefox on Win7 these days in terms of sluggishness and stability?

OK, when I switched to my Win7 computer, my DTP would not migrate. So any free DTP out there that can do simple basic Desktop Publishing in terms of stuff like doing even justification better than MS word. Relatedly: Even justification in Word always results in funky obtrusive insertion of white space.But when I look at printed books, the extra white space is inconspicuous. The even justification does what it is supposed to: makes text easier to read and looks a bit tidier and more professional. Is this kerning? Or what is the print professional term for the difference between even justification done by word processors and even justification done properly?

If you need to fax, can't you use something like efax?

I have to fax forms that are only available on paper, so to use efax would still need a scanner.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Firefox works well in Win7, when I had it at work.

So far so good. The only slightly wonky thing is that there breadcrumb bar at the top that is unreadable. Does not change color when I change themes. Don't know what it is called or how to make it readable. Firefox 26.0

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!

I did something to my keyboard and now I think maybe it's in the UK? But only in Excel. WTF.

I'm working from home today because we're trying to get our website deployed before tomorrow for a trade show in two days.

So Free LogMeIn is going into an extortion mode. [link]

So what's everyone's candidates for easy free remote access choices?

One of the best parts of LMI was its ability to not have to configure routers.

Radmin and VNC of course, work but require router setup.

I liked the Cross-platformness of LMI.

Any thoughts?

Hey. New board.

Chrome desktop works pretty well across Windows machines at least. I think it is cross platform.

What is a good freeware WMA to MP3 converter? The ones I can find on Cnet and Tucows are full of adware.
