   Thanks for the opinions. I might give it a shot. It looks like you are from Seattle? Me too, send me an email, I work in biotech, and it looks like you might sort of also?

    I used Google Docs and Zoho extensively, and both are very fun, but they still are so dang slow it is really unbearable. For example, copy/paste & undo/redo are just tedious. Why is having a nice (and much faster) piece of software ru

    Yeah, I think it looks good, but the community itself has been shockingly changed. Even as recently as a few months ago I found the discussions to be well reasoned, but it has really fallen apart. Now it is a contest to see who can make t

    Well, I agree that you should not be 100% truthful to your kids since our role is to slowly introduce them to the real world, but you should hear the stuff that my mother-in-law comes up with to convince my 3 year old to do things: "I have

    The license on playsforsure lets you just burn the music to CD for playing in your normal CD player. Then you could re-rip it in FLAC or something lossless. I think that re-ripping back to a lossy format ends up being double bad when you
