Thanks. I'll try that when I get back home.
I'm screwed, I bet...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My laptop overheats a lot, and I have never gotten the mouse button situation fixed. Is there anything I could do myself, given that I'm not overly techy? (I googled the overheating situation, but couldn't actually find the fix.) Alternatively, how do I find a good PC repair place?

Thanks for the advice everyone - I've been trying to formulate a way to put it.
Our site's content heavy - we're (I'm) hoping people will come for information, rather than the pretty. I just have to get these kids convinced that just because it exists, and looks cool, doesn't mean it's right for us. You kids! get offa my ... web site?

If you had some extra training money sitting around you could send them to a workshop on Graphics For The Web or something like that. Done right, they'd come back Full of Great Ideas.

Thanks ... but (1) there's no money and (2) I'm afraid that if they get training they'll want Flash and animated GIFs and embedded movies.

Obviously what you should do is fire their asses and hire me.
Yes, I'll use some Flash, but really, it WILL be tasteful. ::crosses fingers behind back::

For posterity's sake, I should record your current tagline here:
The salary was good .... Better benefits packages. Matching 401(k)s. Your own death squad. What's not to like?

I'm getting an "underlying error." This is something for a repair shop, isn't it? Like I can afford this shit. Must prioritise.
