I have been very lazy in terms of keeping up with all my features and the weekly poll is one of them. They are many, and there be dragons. There is no apology for that, so I will simply refuse to apologize. One reason has been that I found most of the pre-meditated poll questions […]

The Boss wanted his damaged Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook P7010 on a journey the following day, but the hard disk was damaged. Could I replace the hard drive, oh, and backup all of his private pictures […]
