Beginners Guides: USB Memory Drive Projects - PCStats.com: "The USB memory key appears
well on its way to replacing the floppy drive completely; as flash memory prices
have dropped, these devices have become cheap enough that anyone can afford
them. This, coupled with the easy support of such drives in Windows XP, has made
them an extremely attractive device for anyone that needs to move files from
place to place. USB memory drives are not just geek toys anymore!
As you will see here though,
there's a lot more you can do with your USB memory key than just transfer files.
These flexible miniature storage devices can put a whole range of portable
applications, and even operating systems in your pocket.

Class: I'm kinda sick right now and behind on the grading. My lungs are trying to meet their yearly phlegm production quota in 24 hours. I will get caught up soon, hang in there. And send me your favorite cold remedies.

For this Friday I want you to go to http://www.prenhall.com/exchange and try logging in with the second set of codes I gave you. That will be your assignment in lieu of reading.

Investing - Gates and Ozzie: How to Escape E-Mail Hell - FORTUNE - Page 2: "ill, you have been nailed in court through e-mail that was found in legal discovery. Has that changed the way you use it?Gates: No. I live the examined life. Basically every e-mail that I've ever sent has been looked at by something like 30 or 40 lawyers to see if there's any way it can be misconstrued. I don't put any notes at the bottom where I say, 'Note to lawyer: When I say 'Beat the competition,' I mean in the nice friendly way we always do.' [laughter] So look, the idea that everything you're doing can be examined%u2014there's nothing really wrong with that. Voicemail is like that too. People just should get used to the idea that there's going to be some visibility for things. I don't think we're all going to just go down to the local pay phone or something."

Hi,

I haven't yet heard back from Prentice Hall about the peer feedback glitch, so here's what I need you to do:

1. go to the "discussions" link in webct
2. click on "peer feedback"
3. click on "instructions draft" and read my instructions there.

Basically, I need you to post a message to the peer response topic, attach your current draft as a document, and then respond to the next draft in the message thread, i.e. whoever has posted after you.

Let's give it a shot, and email me if you have any questions.
