Tech Support Alert has had a paid premium section for a long time, and if you like it, as everybody on this thread seems to, why haven't you supported it by paying for the premium stuff (which I find definitely worthwhile)?-Tiesenhausen (July 12, 2008, 04:01 PM)
Depends on how long you want the new computer to last, I guess, and what you're going to use it for.
I wouldn't go below 2gig for a new machine today, and 4 gigs is probably a good idea if you're planning to run Vista... but of course you can add RAM later, so you could always start with two gigs. The big question is probably whether to buy DDR2 or DDR3 RAM, and which speed...-f0dder (July 12, 2008, 04:06 PM)

yes, thanks again JusticeActually, some web content is not well captured by EverNote, anything with CSS and JS does not import well. Other programs, including MS Word do a much better job.-PPLandry (July 07, 2008, 07:31 PM)
In my endless quest/obsession to find the perfect information manager, I've decided that one of the key features for me is reliable web page capture. Not pixel perfect. But close enough. There are lots of other features I'm willing to compromise on, but not that one.
Now you wouldn't think that would be a problem. But it is. Most of the information managers we know and love just are not as reliable as they should be. I have licences for three of the best -- Ultra Recall, Surfulater and Evernote. All claim that web page capture is part of their feature set.
And yet compared to the free Firefox add-on Scrapbook, their performance is variable, to say the least. Pictures speak louder than words, so here's a comparison of the three programs I mention above with Scrapbook, and web capture specialists Local Website Archive and WebResearch Pro.-johnk (July 11, 2008, 12:53 PM)
What I want is for one of the heavyweight information managers ... to improve their programs and start providing bullet-proof web page capture ...-johnk (July 11, 2008, 01:22 PM)

but I didnt/realise it would work)The problem I had with FolderShare was caused by Excel, which changes the timestamp of the opened file to the current time, and changing it back again after closing it without any editing. This obviously confuses all real time synchronizers/backups/versioning systems. Anyone having an idea? This is my biggest pet peeve with Excel (at least versions 2000 and 2003).-yksyks (July 11, 2008, 03:07 AM)

Here it is. But I have to confess, I tidied things up a little first. It's not usually this neat looking.-40hz (July 09, 2008, 12:14 PM)

This looks like the zoom memory, where, by default, the zoom setting is remembered per site (and across sections). It is a new feature in Firefox 3.that's it all right dmtrs, thanks
To check, you can reset the zoom for donationcoder.com (Ctrl+0, or View > Zoom > Reset)-dmtrs (July 09, 2008, 02:11 PM)
