Looks like there's a problem with the "remember me" bit with this plug-in, but it's the best one I could find. I think I'll need to tweak the style on this form a bit, too... Preview has been added.

Comment preview. Dang it. Yeah, I'm on it. As for keeping up with the techno-Joneses, I had a motherboard failure, so I needed new kit anyway. When it's time to buy, I believe in being as forward-looking as (fiscally) possible. I'm a gamer, too, so it doesn't hurt to have a few more ponies running under the hood, either. ;) D’oh!

Down the line, I know that the hardware folks will want the latest and greatest and that, therfore, the software folks will abandon 32-bit stuff in order to make us buy their latest upgradres. But are we then forever to be captives of the computer corporations? I kinda like my horse-and-buggy, 733 Mhz, 256 Mb RAM, Windows machine, though I was forced to upgrade to XP. What I'd like to see is the computer becoming more like the landline telephone. All the hardware and software would be on the company end (the web servers) and we'd never have to mess with it. OT: I hope you can put the comment preview function back onto your web site.
