Is there a way in Google Docs spreadsheets to have multiple Google Docs Forms feed into a single sheet, or even to multiple sheets within the same document?

Any recs for good basic NAS?
I'm looking at this one. Basically I'm looking for one-touch or automated backup for our multiple computers with redundancy. Any media server functionality is a bonus.

We were talking about the Xara graphics program earlier, so I thought I'd let people know that the company is selling an earlier version for $19 [link] It's very useful, and really not that different from the current version. IIRC, the main difference is that the latest program that exports drawings as html. It does that, but the code sucks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks for the Xara heads up. I think I can justify that on my budget.

The revamped the UI, that's good news. Though I use the GIMP for raster graphics editing, I've never really gotten comfortable with the UI.

Can someone direct to me to a good guide to subnotes - Asus, OLPC and so on. Very basic capability - word, worksheet, graphical browsing, email. Something on the line of the OLPC, Asus or whatever. (Except the Asus's I have seen have truly awful screens. ) I probably would prefer Linux to XP because I want cheap, and I don't want the hardware XP needs. Maybe I should go used? I saw some OLPCs on ebay, but I'm very suspicious of buying used computers on ebay.

Hey. New board.
How can I tell iPhoto to stop opening every time I plug in my iPhone?
I figured this out at some point... I believe it's a setting in Image Capture, for what happens when you plug in a digital camera.
Unfortunately, changing the setting will also keep iPhoto from opening when you plug in a REAL camera. If you want to fix that, you can follow this fairly complicated-looking tip: [link]
