of a couple of things that might address my XAMPP issues ... will try those later tonight. Thanks to all of you 
for the assistance.
... Yes, it should be done on a dedicated machine with a dedicated admin. Business not big enough to support that, financially, at this time.
.) The event and error logs aren't telling me anything useful. I'm in hopes that some of you here will be able to point out some - probably obvious - oversight on my part to get this thing working as it should.Hey, does being against jobs make you an anti-capitalist commie, or because they're government jobs, does it make you an anti-socialist fascist?Yes!!-Renegade (November 08, 2012, 06:40 AM)
Try starting with Microsoft OneNote and Office.+1.
That's the closest I can think of that has all the bells and whistles you seem to want in one package.

.. Got Synergy to work across two (2) machines, inconsistently 
, but never more than two (2). Downside to ID, of course, is lack of cross-platform capability, so can't hook into the Linux boxes - although I've had a degree of success using Wine, albeit limited. That was my attraction to Synergy(+), but never got it to work .? - more than a couple of very sloppy uninstalls. The files had been removed from the hard drive, but references had not been removed from the registry. So I was getting hints of infestation, but MBAM, nor any other detector of evil, could never have found it.. But those can do a good job only on the installs they've audited.)Looks like another authoritarian clusterfark to me. It could only happen in the good ol' USA (I hope).-IainB (October 19, 2012, 06:39 AM)

.In the liquor vein, what is the source of the name Absinthe - also much maligned?-barney (October 08, 2012, 04:01 PM)
It comes from the name of the plant used to "flavour" the drink (though it does apparently have other qualities too which make Absinthe a very special drink).-joiwind (October 08, 2012, 04:20 PM)
. (I'll pass, thank you very much .)
). But the origins of the product names are not always obvious - I was probably in my twenties before I discovered some of the legal battles over that oft maligned liquor. In the liquor vein, what is the source of the name Absinthe - also much maligned? Or why is sour mash called that ... how was it discovered? Those are the kinds of things for which I want sources. Not just those, specifically, but generally. It's easy to find programming sites, or DIY sites ... explanatory sites, not so much. Didn't think of that - it's very informative, entertaining, (and the main man can be very, eh, judgemental at times). I'd say roughly the same about the very active associated forums.-tomos (September 29, 2012, 05:08 PM)
Not sure about sites or services for this, but I can tell you one of those.
Pure nitroglycerine is a very highly shock sensitive liquid, known to detonate if someone yells in it's presence or bumps the container.
Dynamite is Nitroglycerine that has been mixed with Clay. The clay makes it easy to shape into sticks, and stable enough to be safely handled. To detonate dynamite, you need to hit it with something else. Using a hammer is not recommended, so normally a blasting cap is used to provide the initial jolt. In the old days these blasting caps were nothing more than a small gunpowder cartridge, like a firecracker. Today they are a specialty pyrotechnic device that ignites electrically for precise control of when and how the dynamite is detonated.-SeraphimLabs (September 29, 2012, 01:27 PM)
. Take a look at The Straight Dope for an example of a Web site that does some of what has been mentioned. That might make the concepts clearer.. - and voice is not always a viable, much less preferable, choice .Maybe someone who knows how to use search might find it - I keep getting compare wikis or compare prices :-(-tomos (September 28, 2012, 03:05 AM)

. And it provides a prime example of the original comment. Never occurred to me to use etymology, although it should have been an obvious choice.
