Good.

For a second, I was considering that somebody hijacked your account

while we're dreaming: I want a computer which is essentially a 24 inch display that is the same thickness as a powerbook's screen (Or at least as thick as a firewire or DVI port requires it to be) all the ports would be on the edges, it could be tilted and would automatically adjust to fit the orientation (when viewing web pages and text documents etc.) No keyboard, it would display a keyboard on the screen and be touch sensitive. It would work like that fancy wacom monitor in that I could draw directly on the screen)

And I want a fighter jet.
With lasers.
And a tornado to do my bidding.
And a sandwich.

I know, Duck is a brand, duct the type. I just always go with the brand.

You silly. It's well-known under both names.

Google for "Duck tape", 318,000 hits !

It's brand name vs. generic description. What happened here is the same what happened to Kleenex becoming synonymous for paper tissue.

I didn't want to confuse him further. I think he's probably challenged enough as is.
Oh, and duck/duct tape in Germany, Gaffa ? Always hated that...

I do all these things on a 1.25ghz G4 tower all the time. I have the same computer at work where I use Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark, Indesign, etc on a professional basis, and this computer is hardly pokey for such tasks.

I am betting, said computer just doesn't have enough RAM?

Nah, I have 1.5 gigs of ram. iMovie uses basically 100% of one CPU during effects filters and trasnitions. Same with DVD encoding. Hence, I'm glad I have a dual processor machine, so it's still useable while it's doing taxing work.
