Yeah, but I don't trust generic for my photo and art prints. It would be fine for just typical office type work, but not for my artwork.

The single inks were a bit cheaper at MicroCenter, but it's a longer drive and the multi-pack is cheaper at Office Depot....I almost went to Walmart and bought the Acer laptop they have on sell for $350....looks like a deal, but couldn't talk myself into it....

I've seen dead squirrels on the sidewalk there....now I think I know why ... squirrel incompetence!

I'm going to be extremely careful the rest of the day....
ooh, I saw a squirrel fall out of a tree (not on me, luckily) last month when I was on the mainland! It kind of freaked me out. We don't have squirrels here, and I don't think mongoose climb trees, so I may never see such a sight again!

I did get all the spatial rotating images correct, I think that really pushed me into my manhood. It would also explain why, on a recent trip, I was much better able to navigate my coworkers (almost all of whom were men) through the new, unfamiliar city (on foot) than my male coworker who was using his GPS. Or maybe I'm just smarter than he is. I did, after all, have way too many words on the word test. I guess I talk a lot. No one can tell by my posts, right?

It did say I'm way better at empathizing than average (based on my answers and also my ability to read eyes, which I thought was really hard without the faces attached) and would be good at helping people in a crisis, and I *am* a school psychologist/counselor, so I guess that fits! I also discovered I have one man hand (right) and one woman hand (left) and I am ambidextrous (the test didn't have to tell me that, I already knew it), so perhaps it's my inner man/woman fighting a losing battle between my hands? Wait, what?

I got 18 out of 20 right. I see fake smiles in advertisements all the time.

At least there, file system repairs are likely to recover everything and put it back it its correct place under its rightful name.

I do prefer the *nix permissions model, but you can't have everything.

And NTFS5 supports *nix "hard" links, though the functionality isn't exposed by default and you need an MS or third-party utility to create them. That's been quite useful here. If you run Vista/Win7, symbolic links are supported too, but that's not sufficient reason to go near Vista and I haven't had justification to go to Win7 just yet.
