My Flash drive's U3.exe has given up the ghost again. I am unthrilled. I don't want to have to reinstall the apps.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey, what's the cheapest way to clean off the screen and outside of a glossy powerbook? Smudges. Cathair.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Apple:
Cleaning Your PowerBook
Follow these general rules when cleaning the outside of your computer and its components:
* Shut down your PowerBook and remove the battery.
* Use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the computer’s exterior. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. Do not spray liquid directly on the computer.
* Don’t use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives.
Cleaning Your PowerBook Display
To clean your PowerBook screen, do the following:
* Shut down your PowerBook and remove the battery.
* Dampen a clean, soft, lint-free cloth or paper with water only and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.
That having been said, if the damp cloth had a watered-down bit of Simple Green in it, it might help the smudges. Then go over it again with a clean damp cloth to remove possible residue.

I've been using eye glass cleaning cloths for the outside of mine.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
there's an iPhone app called pterm now, which is an SSH client based on PuTTY.
Also, if anybody uses RDP for Windows admin, there's WinAdmin, which is suprisingly usable.

Notice I distanced myself from their notes by setting them off by themselves.
Unplug the battery?!

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
One annoying thing is browsers rename all the graphics files in the cache.
uh, you don't use IE much, do you Tommy? That sucker still retains the original filename in the cache. Their (MS) concession to security issues seems to be that they now use random strings for the names of sub-directories under the temporary internet files directory.
