Monday Morning

You know how when you cough or sneeze and don't quite get your hand up to your mouth fast enough and you get that feeling that some glob flew out but you can't find it anywhere, but then a few minutes later, you do?

Yeah.

On the bright side, there's nowhere to go but up from here. And speaking of which, there's some buzz about a new desktop PC in the works that promises to cut power usage from 100 watts to 2. Yes, two. The CherryPal is just vaporware for the moment, but it's a sign of hope -- as it becomes ever more possible to do lots of things online, the time for the much derided "thin client" PC may have finally arrived. Plus, now you get to say "cloud computer" instead of "thin client."

More on the general trend towards lower-power computers here.

Thank you for sharing that tidbit about "glob."

I've been reading and noting all your information about Firefox - and a "true" and sincere thank you for that.
