I have a few simple pleasures that I indulge in.  Weather is one of them.  Severe weather, that is.  I especially love tornado and hurricane seasons.  I marvel at both - for their raw power and dynamics.  But tropical storm Fay, soon to be hurricane Fay, is a pretty baffling and awe inspiring storm in her own right.

However, even casual users can benefit from some of the nifty tools found in the Computer Management program. Typically hidden from the view of all but PC experts, Computer Manager contains a number of tools that can help you manage your user accounts, disk partitions, and even your drive letters. As a household’s computer setup becomes increasingly splintered between individual desktops, USB devices, and even a Media Center PC, network and drive management becomes a priority.

When I play Guitar Hero, I don’t like how unrealistic it is.  Yeah, that’s being picky.  But it is a lot of fun.  In fact, when I play Rock Band, I usually gravitate towards the drums.  I don’t play drums and it’s just fun to bang around.  JamVox has a really cool guitar karaoke product, however, that will delight genuine guitarists.

What goes together better than computers and pizza.  It’s like strawberries and chocolate.  Or politics and scandal.  Or maybe command line interface (CLI) and yep, Domino’s pizza.  Fortunately for you *nix users of Cygwin users, there is some open source software where you can order your pizza straight from the CLI.
