I'm in a boring meeting in Charlotte; flying home later this afternoon. Thank goodness the conference room table has an ethernet jack.

A friend online just sent me an instant message that included my new phavorite phrase, "torturously long blow job". I snickered a bit loud, so I'll probably have to shut the laptop and actually participate in the meeting. Harumph.

On a different topic, Firefox is a *really* great new browser.

Get Firefox!

So far, I like it a whole lot -- even more than Safari on OSX. Snappy, snazzy, safe!

The "11 installs" bit doesn't sound remotely accurate... probably another instance of bad PR/marketing devolving into bad info. But yes, XP is typically licensed only for the hardware it ships on, unless you've paid the $$$ for a different copy that allows you to transfer it to new hardware.

Tell you what: E-mail me your shipping address [that would be cpratt at microsoft dot com] and I'll get a copy of XP Home [full version] shipped out to you on my own dime. Deal?

Ummm... maybe you can help me. The cupholder on the front of my PC has broken off -- can you fix it for me?

You bet! Just send me $180 for the plane ticket and $20 for spare parts...

Thank you for reading Dave Cobb's journal, where the elite meet to diagnose and solve PC problems... :)

Package'll be shipped this week.

If you run into me out and about, I demand a Guinness. :)
