Any idea on when these PowerToys will be released? Is MS waiting for Office 12 to come out?????

Hope that isn't what they are waiting for.

I had the same problem with the extension not working. I followed a link from lifehacker.com to the following website where a solution is posted:

The solution works for me. But I am no expert on these things. I suppose I should say that people should use the work-around at their own risk...

But it has worked perfectly for me!

Does this mean they will only post versions that work with Office 2007? Hope not!

I'd love number 17. Still using my X30 and she might like a new dress.

My Aximsite username is Nelson111.

Thanks!

My wife and I made a compromise. We live near her work because she has to be there everyday (making her commute roughly 5 minutes by car). My commute to grad school (about 3 days/week) takes one hour. Unfortunately, there are no viable public transportation options. I work at home the other days.

Re: 5 Green Laptops from Toshiba

I agree that holding on to a laptop longer is a great way to be green. But 2-3 years is NOT long. I'm finally giving up my Toshiba after 5 1/2 years of service. And I wish I could make it last longer but upgrades are no longer reasonable for this model.

I think we need to encourage computer manufacturers to build-in greater ability for upgrades AND we need to encourage consumers to spend the extra few bucks to have a computer that can last them 5-7 rather than 1-3 years.

Improving CFL quality--especially its brightness--would go a long way towards getting consumer acceptance. Current ones don't bother me all that much but they drive my wife crazy! She really needs a bright environment or she feels depressed. And CFLs just can't guarantee that.

Regarding the length of time it takes for them to reach their current levels of brightness, I think it would make sense to warn consumers with the label that this is what happens.
