All you have to do is tell it the names of shared folders you want it to have and which computers to back up and it will spread it and duplicate it across however many HDDs you have, without you worrying about which actual HDD your "Music" folder is on or where your wife's computer is being backed up to. Plus, if you have more than one HDD and you have "Enable Folder Duplication" enabled for a shared folder,..http://www.sellsbrothers.com/news/showTopic.aspx?ixTopic=2160 "So easy to read, it should be illegal"- (Found July 15, 2008 ) Thanks very much "ET" on the Canadian Amazon.

I don't know what Spock.com is, but after the address-book thingie, MySpace, the high school alumni thingie, Friendster (), the Google ork-something, the business thingie and most recently FaceBook, I'm all done. All I ever do on these sites is approve friends requests!

This download process was only supported inside of a properly configured Visual Studio 2008. 21 Days Later: Kerem Kusmezer and John Robbins released a tool to download the source code en mass.

(I blame my inability to apply this strategy for my lottery losings in the past.) I did a little research and then went to two local Plaid Pantries to purchase the Oregon Lottery "Trio." At the first Plaid Pantry, an thin, stringy haired older lady behind the counter blinked in surprise when she saw me and then laughed to herself. "I just saw your geek pin. It's so subtle... geek..." she said.

However, I have to admit a certain fondness for the lowly limerick. I've done some composing, but the subject matter is often not something I'd want to post on my blog ("Hi, Mom!"), so when I ran into the rare clean one, I had to share: A Limerick packs laughs anatomicalIn a space that is quite economicalBut the good ones we've seenVery seldom are...http://www.sellsbrothers.com/news/showTopic.aspx?ixTopic=2167 Configuring VS08 to Debug .NET Framework Source- (Found July 15, 2008 ) Shawn Burke has released the details to set up VS08 to debug into the .NET Framework source code, including the following assemblies: mscorlib.DLL System.DLL System.Data.DLL System.Drawing.DLL System.Web.DLL System.Web.Extensions.DLL System.Windows.Forms.DLL System.XML.DLL WPF (UIAutomation.dll, System.Windows.DLL, System.Printing.DLL, System.Speech.DLL, WindowsBase.DLL, WindowsFormsIntegration.DLL, Presentation.dll, some others) Microsoft.VisualBasic.DLL Others are coming.
