As a real female and somewhat of a feminist, I am not offended by yahoo offering this, but it does seem a bit odd.

Happened in New Zealand, I believe. I have no idea what the laws are there regarding employment.

And, of course, in the normal way of life, we are predicted to have clouds and rain for the next few days. Seems to always happen whenever there is something cool going on in the sky!

I knew an guy who had worked with air conditioners for years- he couldn't be fingerprinted either, and that was with the old style ink method. The chemicals he worked with burned off the surface of the skin on his fingers.

I bought several items from them recently, and on one item ordered the wrong thing (my fault). They accepted the return and shipped the right part with no problems, no hassle.

When I was much younger, my mother could sit down and write up a grocery list to feed a family of 9 for a week- and do it in the order she would be going thru the store aisles- by memory alone! Now she gets frustrated because things get moved around, or aren't carried anymore- and she's only buying for 2.

I work at a hospital, and doctors will go out and buy their own laptops without asking us for advice first-then they bring them to us and expect us to make them work on the hospital network. They get a little unhappy when we tell then their Vista Home notebook isn't compatible, and they will have to spend another $200 to upgrade to Ultimate. I like what I have seen of Windows 7 so far, but I was really hoping they would cut down on the number of editions available.

Per Microsoft's FAQ, you have to use IE and their active X downloader program to download the file. There was mention of a web download, but I didn't read the details. BTW, it downloaded much faster from Microsoft today then it did from the torrent I tried last week.

Swear to God this just happened today!!!! While at lunch, our network guys got a call that the network was down at one of our locations about a mile away. They stopped by on their way back from lunch, of course the network was up and running. Turns out the power had just come back up after a 2 hour outage.

No, but that would be fun. I have to reboot each time I want to switch OS's. I loaded VMplayer, and tried 2 different Ubuntu images in my XP load, but neither would run..I think they had problems with my hardware. I wanted to play with Server 2008 as well, but the only appliance that VMplayer has for it is out of trial period time.

For some of us its our job. No matter what we think of Windows, our livelihood depends upon our knowledge of whatever flavor of Windows the customer is using. And that means staying ahead of the game. My current personal system is triple booting between Ubuntu, XP, and Vista. Why would I ignore Windows 7?
