      Jeremy, I know you've been spending most of your time in a gym these days but seriously, dude, we need to talk. :)

        Never. I was driven by Vista. I AM spending my morning trying to work out why a user has reported that an older app of ours that works fine on Vista is not working for them on Weven. But, it works for me so far ( still testing as admin, moving to non admin soon )

            Anyone have any ideas for a weekly survey? I have a few bubbling away but I figured you lot would surely have some burning questions you're aching to know the answer to. - average length of mouse cord - cable or wireless peripherals - Legal or A4 - Pencil or Pen The list is endless.

                    Why not ask if people are planning on developing for the iPad, and/or owning one ? Seems timely. Or ask 'why have you not bought a Mac yet ?' Answers: 1 - I have, I'm not stupid 2 - I like computers that crash 3 - It's an adventure wondering if Windows will work today 4 - I am related to Bill Gates 5 - I own MS shares, and I am trying desperately to get them to rise in value again 6 - I'm just dumb.

                    1). Because if Mac software is anything like iTunes on windows, I'd rather claw my eyes out with a rusty spoon. 2). It has precisely zero applications that I care about. 3). Because my boss is an Apple fanboy too, and I just couldn't let him influence me. (See also, C. Graus) ;P 4). I buy a computer for work. And I work with Microsoft products. 5). I buy a computer to play games on. 'nuff said. 6). I cannot afford a second mortgage for a computer that is lower-equipped than my laptop, for more money. 7). All of the above.

                            The best photo app I've ever seen. A perfectly good office suite that interops with Office. Windows running in a window if I ever need it for anything. But, that's not the point. The OS works. Any platform has the apps you need, the platform is the point.

                                  How many man points you get for growing a chest hair? Barring that, the average length of a mouse cord sounds good to me.

                                        Anyone have any ideas for a weekly survey? I have a few bubbling away but I figured you lot would surely have some burning questions you're aching to know the answer to. - average length of mouse cord - cable or wireless peripherals - Legal or A4 - Pencil or Pen The list is endless.

                                        cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP
