I find stuff at Home Depot by going to Home Depot, grabbing the first orange vest I find and saying "I need THIS. Take me to it."
That usually works.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

2nds MM's method. Just as I learn where stuff is there, they move it on me. And their website is hit/miss.

Chances are you can get the Earthquake Straps at Ikea. They include them with every piece they sell.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Home Depot's website is a piece of useless crap. As people have said, you need to go to the store and ask.

Ann, that's a ferret.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

L-shaped brackets
Those are in the same aisle as drawer slides and casters, in between the aisle with all the nails, screws, and bolts and the aisle with doorknobs, lock sets, and cabinet hardware...

Book Rec: can anyone recommend a good book on PowerPoint? Up till I've just used occasionally, never really got over the learning curve. I'm certain I do a lot of stuff the hard way technically. Also my ideal book would not only cover the technical stuff, but would give good hints on graphic design dos and don'ts.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
There's this book, but it's probably not exactly what you're looking for.
