in XP i set up multiple connections as a network bridge.

 

no offense, LordVagabond, but if I put a space in one of my scripts I save it. Do it in one swift motion. alt-F then press S
While I'm on the extreme side, anything over 30-60 mins is a bit extreme to not save in if you've done a lot of work on it.

Hey, glad we can help ya out Muz.

 

vi keeps a swap file so if you crash you can always recover your work. best editor ever.

 

true, but I don't work in vi all the time. I create a lot of custom utilities in WISE and NOTEPAD :-) (or UltraEdit if you're a wussy)

 

wise? notepad?? you mean you use windows for more than trillian and solitare? pshaw.

 

Baggiga please! (I was going to use a less appropriate term).

No games at work allowed on my watch and no way I'm opening ports at work for any IM programs, especially those BETA (read: run away!) that open a different port every time it connects to a user. Scarily unsecure.

Plus, I need to keep my DOS scripting skills sharp. ONE DAY DOS WILL RETURN IN A FORM OTHER THAN LINUX.
