It's out if you manually check for updates too. Did they change the font rendering? Either I'm suffering from a placebo effect from my shiny new FF3.5 or everything's prettier.

There is one - the Windows (Ultimate x64 Ed.) Tax that you will have already paid if you buy the Adamo.

That alone would stop me from buying it.

Damn. It's years later and now I finally know the origin for that Red vs. Blue joke.

Right? I hope SETI comes up with something soon. I can't wait to find out what they taste like!

From womens' point of view, I'd imagine the choices are sort of a mix of the two: "Cheap, Attractive, Fast, pick two."

About the spindle - would using an SSD drive help?

I haven't tried it myself, but I've been meaning to test out Go-oo, which is purportedly faster. From the site:
"A Faster application

From first-time startup, where we sort I/O to reduce seek cost, to a highly optimised second start application and a systray quick-starter on Linux we are faster. We use less memory than up-stream, we link faster, use better system allocators, and don't waste so much time & memory in the registry. Go-oo performance is hard to beat. "

On the contrary, much of my grief comes from over-writing save games. Chrono Trigger...Secret of Mana...Pokemon Emerald...Final Fantasy Tactics...all horrible, horrible repressed memories. Still, the save-game mechanism is an archaic one, and I agree that it should be left by the wayside.

I think you are thinking of this.
