PDFCreator can be used in XP to create a .pdf file from any program that can print.  Graphics/documents/pictures or anything else.  Once the program is installed, it shows up as a printer.  Select the printer from the application and when you click Print the dialog box for the conversion will show up.  I haven't seen a Vista version yet unfortunately.

Nice use of "bloviated"!  Is that a word commonly used around your office because you are all so well read and intelligent?  Or did it come about through the judicious use of a thesaurus?  :)

Hey, that would make a nice Christmas present to all of us loyal fans!  Thanks guys.

I think this is a good move for YouTube.  The change in policy doesn't remove anything from their site that wasn't going to be removed already under the old policy.  They are just labeling things more accurately.  That doesn't count as censorship to me.  If you want to view it, you still can.  But you will be less likely to encounter sexually explicit video on accident which in my opinion is a good thing.

Hi guys, love the magazine.  Had a issue with this main article though.  It makes sense to me to compare your first example on which you spent $369 with an off the shelf new $500 system.  But then you proceed to spend about $1000 on the next two systems, but continue to compare them to that same $500 off-the-shelf retail system.  Wouldn't it be a better comparison if you were to use a $1000 off-the-shelf system?  I'm all for upgrading and have done it myself and for others many times, but performance increase acheived for $ spent upgrading versus performacne increase for $ spent on a new machine is of huge importance.  Your article doesn't answer that question for the 2nd and 3rd examples.

And yes, I think the joy of completing a successful upgrade is a big plus and should be factored in!

Thanks.
