Re: [H] Exchange servers - Hosted vs. In-House
Joe, About two months ago I set up a new hosted Exchange account for a new venture for me and my partner. I used a company based in Canada called Sherweb. (I don't have any connection with them other than as a satisfied user.) It is $9/user/month. That includes 3 GB of storage per user. Wireless sync for Windows Mobile devices is included in the base price. Blackberry Enterprise is an extra $11/mo/user. You can log into the server from any Outlook client without VPN, and the base price also includes Outlook Web access, group scheduling, free copies of Outlook and Entourage, Sharepoint server, Baracuda spam blocking and other stuff. I have found it to be very reliable. They have had two scheduled outages in the last two months, both in the middle of the night U.S. eastern time. So far so good.

So obviously I would prefer a card that is good for business applications and supports DVI natively. Another thing I like to do is put my monitors in portrait mode so that I get more top to bottom real estate. But I have noticed that kills video performance. I am assuming its from redrawing everything on screen instead of at a lower level so a card that could do that natively would be great. Oh yeah one more thing it can't be a $500 card since I have to get my work to approve it.

Re: [H] ok so online music renting blows
I love Sirius radio. When I first heard about it, my reaction was Who would pay for radio? Then my wife got me one for Christmas a couple years ago and now I can't imagine not having it. I haven't tried to use mine indoors. I'd guess you have to rig up an antenna outdoors or pointed out a window with a line of sight to the satellite. Also, I'm not sure how portable they are outside the car. I use mine only in the car with a hard-wired antenna. I've heard that the reception for the models you place on the dash with their own built-in antenna isn't as good, but I don't have any first-hand experience. I know they're not really designed to be walk-around devices like portable FM radios, and I don't think they work well without a direct line of sight to the satellite. I've read that in some big cities they have ground repeaters that might help with using a radio indoors. My radio has the ability to save songs and then detach the device and listen to saved songs like an MP3 player. Lately, they've been hyping a new device designed to provide in-house access to Sirius content through a broadband Internet connection, so that may be an indication that using the satellite radios themselves indoors doesn't work well. All that aside, the content is great, especially if you're in your car for 2-3 hours a day. You can buy them at all the usual electronic outlets. Sirius sells the hardware directly and sometimes they offer some pretty good deals.

And because it is hard to find what you might not have heard yet and not the force feed garbage well I am usually listening to the same stinking songs/groups. So I am paying to much for a limited amount of portable music as I see it. So I am now thinking Sirius. It solves music and FOOTBALL! :) because I usually get NFL field pass to listen to my favorite out of town team. But I need to keep it to about the same budget. I'm thinking that I can get 2 radio thingies for mine and my wife's car and one of them can be portable/house use too. No? So I would need one account and one additional add on account thing right? Where would be the best place to acquire these objects? Thanks.

Which CPU would you choose for a gaming PC, the Q6600 or the E6850? For the chipset, would you go with the P35 Express or nForce 600i? Why?
