So. Got That Fucking Computer back, and set it back up. Considered for a moment naming it "TFC" or "That Fucking Computer" in the family network, but I'd have had to change all the config that was left on the other computers (for installed shared printer, etc.), so laziness eventually won over. *grin* Installed all my programs on it, still have to transfer over a couple large files but apart from that I have everything. Except of course for the contents of That Fucking HD, which will have to be soon sent to a data recovery company to see if it's possible to get anything off it.
Oh, almost forgot to mention. I'm now running in 1024x768 screen resolution (yeah, yeah, took me long enough, shush)... but I'm using Opera 7, tabbed browsing, hotlist docked to the left of my screen. Which means the width of my browsing screen is still ~800. Which means I still get to bitch at people who make layouts without considering people in 800x600. Best of both worlds. XD

Yay!

Still you should consider using a decent resolution like 1280x1024. Much better for image editing and IRC etc.

*hides under a desk, as she's very bad about designing layouts for above 800x600*

1280x1024 is a bastard resolution. >_

o__O Ok, fine. Eat rest of my comment you stupid thing.

What I was saying is that 1280x960 is a better resolution, as it uses the same ratio as 800x600 and 1024x768.

And don't hide. I can always temporarily deactivate the hotlist if a layout is being too much of a pain in the ass. But I've never had a problem with any of your layouts in 800x600 before. ^^

As for using an even higher resolution, thanks but no thanks. ^^ Even 1024x768 is tiny. I don't have that big of a monitor, and I don't want to go blind from squinting. ^^;
