Boy am I glad I'm not on her shopping list!

Yeah, it needed a facelift. I'm interested to see if their spam identification (destruction) gets any better with the ability to "Report Junk E-Mail" from the new toolbar. I'll be naive and pretend that there is some fantastic AI behind it and, once trained, will never allow me to see spam again. I can dream, right?:)

I would start by looking at the work Camilo Toro has done. He has wrapped the needed portions of Win32 in a C# class. You'll be able to do what you want without writing much code at all. His work, called USBSharp, can be found on Jan Axelson's HID Page[^]. (Jan is the author of USB Complete, a great book to wet your taste buds.) For more details, look at the rest of Jan's site, the MS DDK, and MSDN of course. Hope this helps, Chris

The phrase, "He must have been guilty of something or they wouldn't have arrested him" comes to mind. :)

Giles wrote: Personally the Pocket PC phones are way to big For just a cell phone, I agree. But for web browsing, Pocket Word, Remote Desktop, and the like, I need screen size that no "cell phone" can provide. I guess I look at the whole thing a little differently. Right now I tote around my LG VX10 and my e740, so rather than seeing a device like the rumored HP iPaq 6000 as a large cell phone, I see it as a means to carry 1 device rather than 2.

I've had my Toshiba e740 for a while now. I've always said that I'll upgrade when a PocketPC Phone Edition PDA hits the streets with integrated Wi-Fi. One of my buddies swears he's seen one, but my Googling hasn't turned up much. Anyone seen any of these? Chris

I picked up a USB2 256MB FujiFilm for $59 after rebates a few months ago. It does everything I expect it to do without issue. I see that price again every few weeks. Chris

Not sure what your definition of "too bloated" is, but you can go to http://classic.winamp.com[^] to get Winamp 2.x. They offer a Lite version that I think would be difficult to call bloated. Chris

Via Yahoo! Finance: Day's Range: 26.24 - 26.49 Too bad! :(

Correct me if I'm wrong, but according to the Winamp Website [^] Winamp 3 already supports WMA.

For phone/dsl, look for a power strip with 2 phone jacks on it. You'll connect the power strip to your phone jack in the wall and to your computer. (The phone line goes through the power strip). WeiyeChen wrote: Does it cost alot? This is like, "Does a car cost alot?". I have a full 1000VA UPS that will do this for about $100, but a base surge protector should be under $10. Search for "surge protector" at buy.com. Belkin, APC, and Monster are my personal favorite manufacturers. Hope this helps.
