    "Natural" keyboard

    I use the natural keyboards almost exclusively, except right now when I'm typing on my laptop keyboard, which incidentally is driving me insane... When I'm at home I hook a natural keyboard up to the laptop to use it. Regular keyboards feel so cramped and increase my errors and slow me down...

    Maxtor Demonstrates Single-Chip Native SATA Drives

    I guess that settles the NCQ question brought up by tom's article. Maxtor drives will be out later this year that support it and the grantsdale chipset will support it. And hot plugging to boot!

    New Toy - High Resolution - Text Too Small

    Thanks but that made my icons in the quick launch look chunky. I keep the quick launch bar always on top and auto hide on the left side of the screen. I use it to get to programs rather than clicking the start menu. But the icons are small - 16x16. I think I am getting used to the small text...

    New Toy - High Resolution - Text Too Small

    Yes I know it is the Pentium M. I'm also trying to figure out which wireless types the card supports. I think it is just b. It is listed in Device Manager as Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3A.

    Form data to text file or cookie

    Well those are all required parts of the cookie. If you don't include an expire timestamp, it is a this session only cookie. You never see them when you read a cookie through javascript. If you are reading the cookies from another program or through notepad, then you see them. Writing to a text...

    Form data to text file or cookie

    You can only have one name/value pair in a cookie. So to store a tracking list of the last ten users, you either need ten different names or a method of storing all ten in on value. The javascript expression document.cookie contains all the cookie name/value pairs from all the cookies separated...

    Pure FTPd problems

    No nag screen in 30 days that is assuming you are using it for personal use. If you are using it for commercial use, you are required to get a license to use the software after 30 days. The nag screen comes up randomly between 8 and 5pm. It will also get you premium support for 1 year.

    Javascript question

    There are these hta things that can do it I think. You might also research the FileSystemObject in JScript. http://msdn.microsoft.com This is all IE only stuff though.

    Javascript question

    Depends. IE Only, then maybe. Otherwise, javascript does not have access to the filesystem. IE's JScript has a FileSystemObject that can access the filesystem.

    If you install firebird, flash may be installed for IE but firebird doesn't pick that up. So you get those prompts: do you want to install the plug-in.
