tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31600 Loc: Seattle, WA	I hadn't seen this until today. Someone sent an internal memo about laptop recommendations and this was in the email thread: http://tinyurl.com/c9822q Very clever. I'm going to remember that so I can use it someday. Not much chance to use it on this BBS (except on me), but perhaps elsewhere. _________________________ Tony Fabris

Dignan carpal tunnel Registered: 08/03/2000 Posts: 12341 Loc: Sterling, VA	Heh, yeah, I like that site, and it's a great idea, but I've never thought to actually use it on someone. I'd really come off as the stereotypical IT guy. Plus, the recipient might argue that more time was spent sending that than actual helpful info, though I guess there's the "teach a man to fish" argument... _________________________ Matt

JeffS carpal tunnel Registered: 14/01/2002 Posts: 2858 Loc: Atlanta, GA	Busy I played way too much poker (I made a good deal of money, but got burned out), then myself and the Mrs. got into World of Warcraft (bad, bad addiction- I'm now the GM of a raiding guild), and now we're having a baby. Oh, and the bank I work for was shut down by the Fed on Friday I forgot how much I missed you all and my connection to all things geek related until I came across this browser shortcut while cleaning stuff off my work computer. I hope some of the old folks are still around. On the positive side I've showed most of our (soon to be no longer) IT department the link to the lmgtfy site and they LOVE it. Apparently most of us are not afraid to wield this great new power . . . _________________________ -Jeff Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings; they did it by killing all those who opposed them.
