Is your Windows systems slow to log-off or shutdown?

Ford Commercial Hell (aka Taylor Hicks, please shut up.)
If you watch the Red Sox on NESN in the Boston area, you know exactly what I am talking about. Every commercial break during each and every Sox game broadcast, they air the Ford "Possibilities" advertisement with Amercian Idol's Taylor Hicks singing the least catchiest jingle in broadcast history. Sometimes you get the commercial twice in one break. It's pathetic and is making watching NESN close to unbearable. Can't their ad sales people get some additional sponsors? It's the Red Sox... all we can get is Ford and Toyota Summer clearance every break? At least the Toyota ads don't make you scream "IT'S BURNSES" every time you see or hear one.
New Gmail Feature!
Gmail has finally added the ability to "take action" (aka mark as read, delete, etc.) on greater than one page of email at a time. I, amongst many others if you search the Google Gmail Groups, have been clamoring for this feature for a long time. Their help page describes how to do it. Thanks Google for finally putting this in. My boxes w/ 7000 or so of unread messages also thank you.

New Yahoo! Homepage
Yahoo! has launched their new home page. It's nice. I wish they'd update the My.Yahoo.com page as it's feeling as dated as the last time the Yankees won the World Series... which, if my memory serves me, was some time right around the turn of the century. Damn... that does sound like a long time.
Heh... it's happy iCal Day!
