Sounds great! I know several folks for whom this would be perfect!
The Doc Searls Weblog reports Well sown.
“Dan Bricklin has released ListGarden,
an RSS feed generator. Looks like an ideal way to extend easy RSS
generation from blogs to everything else: newsletters, private
websites, whatever. It’s a free-standing utility that runs as a local
HTTP server app or [...]
I have no trouble browsing and seeing shares on my Samba (2.27) file
server from my Windows XP SP1 client. However, on the test machine with
SP2 RC2, using the “Add a network place” (boy, I love being treated
like an idiot), the dialogs let me browse and see all the shares on
Windows machines, but it doesn’t show [...]
Successfully installed Release Candidate 2 of WIndows XP Service Pack 2
on a test machine last night. The morning, I was greeted by a screen
asking me to turn on Automatic Updates, with green and red shields
lifted from McAfee or similar security products. This option not only
downloads but installs patchs as Microsoft distributes them. While this
might be [...]
John Koziol blogged
back in March that two areas of VFP were a problem with SP2 installed,
and those two problems were only on chips that supported the NX

Not a screamer, an PII-266 HP Omnibook that was Laura’s previous

to disk (it had a Win98SE install on it) [...]

inexpensive developer tools. By By STEVE LOHR. [The New York Times > Technology]
Batten down the hatches, those of you, like me, who support clients out
in the field. Windows Update could be bringing you some surprises, in
the form of tech support headaches. If you haven’t beta tested it
already, you might want to get ahead of your customers, who’ll be
beta-testing it soon…
Windows XP update could cause support chaos.
The major [...]
BusinessWeek features an op-ed from columnist Stephen H. Wildstrom saying that “Internet Explorer Is Just Too Risky.” Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols opines that “Internet Explorer is too dangerous to keep using” in eWeek.
It’s traditional in most of the newsgroups and forums go on until one
wingnut accuses the other of acting like Hitler. At that point, the
fight has degenerated to silliness and is ignore by anyone with common
sense. The anti-Bush campaign saw Hitler in a proposed ad and wisely
nixed it. If only the President’s campaign had the same [...]
