   I've been tempted to use (the impressive) Cappuccino for a couple of apps but based on its lack of keyboard tab focus and performance on slower systems I decided against using it. I like to build simple, accessible apps. Somebody--Sofa I th

   Thanks, I think that's probably my best option. Have you compared these to halogen torchieres?

   Thanks (my upvote didn't work for your comment). I didn't mention that I'm in a rental so I'm looking for a floor lamp or similar option. Maybe an array of desk lamps similar to your chandelier. ;)

   I wonder if they're attracting more European customers. Also, could price be a factor (one user for $5, six for $25)?

    IANAL but it might not be a bad idea to take a few minutes and write down who said what and when, while it's still fresh in your mind. Maybe even in some official company record ("captain's log"). Ya never know . . .

    YouTube would be nice. I'm using a Greasemonkey script ( http://pastie.org/674946 ) but it requires some management to keep up with changes.

    That sucks. Any way to work a 4-day week? Or pry a telecommuting day out of their cold hands? [Unless you're the boss, in which case strike that last remark.]

    I think another consideration with Gmail (Apps) is you can't set the "From" address unless it's another Gmail address you own (somebody please correct me if there's a way to do this). So I wasn't able to emulate Craigslist, for example.
