Good article -- slight nitpick: he talks about free writing via typing ( because of his great website 750words) but Julia Cameron has always advocated writing free hand to slow down and be closer to each letter, each word. Not sure if Nata

Does this need to use the web gui? I tried setting this up on a digital ocean server and it spawns off a webserver on 8080 that I can't reach from my machine. Is there a "headless" mode for client-less servers? Thanks

I noticed (coincidentally) that the savings was close to the taxes -- I wonder if they are shipping to tax-free places and rerouting them somehow with a deal with a shipping company?

John, thank you for this. As many have commented, I am kicking myself that I had to buy a mattress months ago and had to go through the whole bait-and-switch, renamed-same-mattress-from-store-to-store BS. Next mattress will be from you guy

Why the Ruby dependency for creating cookbooks? I don't prefer installing frameworks I'm not using as add-ons for another product - can vagrant do the extras?

The article mentions to install the 32-bit offline installer but what if you are 64? I know 32-bit will work but are there disadvantages to using it over 64-bit? Or can you just download the 64-bit and uncheck the shovelware?

The article references that it will be in 3D -- not a big deal to today's games, but I remember buying SimCopter because it allowed me to take my SimCity(2000 I think?) city and fly around in it -- including running missions through it. I
