That seems whack. I'm skeptical it will really work that way.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There have been rumors that there won't be an easy upgrade from XP to Windows 7.
Still, way to piss off large numbers of your customer base if that's so....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
From what I've been hearing, you need to go through Vista to do an upgrade? -- that is, a "hey, hit this button and we'll manage everything for you". It's not the case that you can't install Win7 without buying Vista first; people who want to back up and do a clean install can do so, but they just won't make it as easy for you to skip over Vista altogether.

Grah. I hate .docx files.
That is all.

Way to encourage the black market, Microsoft.

Thanks for asking that Facebook question Vortex. I've as much as abandoned the site for weariness over "Thus and so has sent Whose and so a blankfilling!"
I get enough flotsom in my data stream without all that.
Speaking of jetsom, I'm trying to figure out if there is a useful way to archive email onto a disc from Thunderbird.
I followed all the instructions, zipping the profile, adding it to a burn folder and burning it onto a dvd. Upon opening, however, most of the archived mail was jibberish.
Is this the best I can hope for given email formats and html stuff?

Anybody have a (pref free) financial management software tool for Mac they love? My old version of Quicken (2004, I think) won't run on my new laptop, and the migration to the new Quicken Financial Life beta was a complete bust. (They offer a free data conversion tool...which is also in beta and explicitly unsupported. This tool also utterly fails to WORK. Blech.)
So I'm open to suggestions. I'd prefer something free and able to convert Quicken 2004 data files.
