Highly recommended Dell rep #
If you buy business hardware from Dell, I can't recommend Justin Anderson strongly enough. He goes above and beyond the call of duty, and gives the impression of sincerely enjoying his work. I doubt he will be working on the front lines much longer, but for now you can reach him at: Justin_Anderson at Dell dot com or (800) 901-3355 x 7237087.

Four things OS X can learn from Windows 95 #You would think that after all these years, Apple would have copied these simple yet essential abilities from Windows 95:
- In Spotlight's search result window, files should be able to be deleted, copied, moved, renamed, etc.
- Spotlight should offer an "In Folder" or "Location" column rather than forcing the user to press the tiny "i" symbol for each result.
- The Trash should have two more columns: "Date Deleted" and "Original Location".
- The context menu in the Trash should offer a "Restore" option to return files to their original location. This is especially useful in putting back the 20 or 30 files from 10 different locations that Adobe asked you to remove and then realized they shouldn't have.

OS X: Slow startup, update_prebindin, and Application Enhancer (APE) #For those wondering why their Mac hard drives thrash about on startup, while a process apparently called update_prebindin (it is actually "update_prebinding") hogs the CPU, here is one explanation and a possible fix.

Thank God: Ron Paul Launches Presidential Bid #ABC News has the scoop. Check out Ron's website for more info or to make a contribution (I did). Recommended reading: Davy Crockett's Not Yours To Give. Here's a taste:
Horatio Bunce: "My papers say that last winter you voted for a bill to appropriate $20,000 to some sufferers by a fire in Georgetown. Is that true?"
Crockett: "Well, my friend; I may as well own up. You have got me there. But certainly nobody will complain that a great and rich country like ours should give the insignificant sum of $20,000 to relieve its suffering women and children, particularly with a full and overflowing Treasury, and I am sure, if you had been there, you would have done just as I did."
Bunce: "It is not the amount, Colonel, that I complain of; it is the principle. In the first place, the government ought to have in the Treasury no more than enough for its legitimate purposes. But that has nothing to do with the question. The power of collecting and disbursing money at pleasure is the most dangerous power that can be intrusted to man, particularly under our system of collecting revenue by a tariff, which reaches every man in the country, no matter how poor he may be, and the poorer he is the more he pays in proportion to his means.
"What is worse, it presses upon him without his knowledge where the weight centers, for there is not a man in the United States who can ever guess how much he pays to the government. So you see, that while you are contributing to relieve one, you are drawing it from thousands who are even worse off than he."
