Standards
I came in to work this morning to find that one of our payment processing servers had gone little-rubber-feet up over the weekend. A couple of minutes of poking around told me that either the power supply had failed or the motherboard was fried beyond repair. It took five minutes to pull a power supply out of a spare desktop machine and swap it in, and we had a working server again.
Because we use standard ATX power supplies and motherboards for all our systems, we can do that.
I'm off on a trip on Thursday, and I'll be on the train for about 11 hours. The battery life of my notebook is only three or four hours. Fortunately, I'm in the middle of setting up another notebook for one of our managers and I can borrow the battery from it while I'm away.
That only works because the two notebooks are identical models. There are hundreds of different notebook batteries around, exactly two of which will work in mine.

Very impressive environment you have created here. Not sure that I would be able to muster the focus and drive to head towards this standard you set, however, if the urge should bite... possibly.
In May I asked... *What's so special about mu.nu anyway? They don't even have a www prefex. You gave me a flippant and humourous answer. Something about *Donuts*.
I replied with;
================
Y' know those people walking around, who are somehow really in the know? The ones with the signs that say things like, *The world is coming to an end*?
Well it's kinda like mu.nu is in the know too, about the donuts.
The guy in the know updated his sign. Now it reads... God is coming, and he's bringing donuts.
How do all these people find such things out? It's not on Google. '3s
==============
Seriously though, is there a page that defines the superior features of Mu.Nu ?
I see you are a technical person, so I think asking this of you will give a sound answer.
Recently testing the new Opera Browser. It is streamlined, Simplified [Better design] and it is free now too!

If you don't know this site, you'll thank me.
Opera seems to work very well and holds several blogsites along the upper tray. Allows quick switching...saves time.
Opera reports on minor line tick errors more than other browsers.
Opera offers Blog sites, so I climed aboard and I'm pleased. Some very nice features.

Bit heavy on graphics to start. Your opinion?
