I'm Back - What've I Missed?
Just got in from my vacation in the UK. Just clean installed the newest version, 7000 I think. Anything I need to be aware of?
Any tweaks that do or don't work as with other pre-beta's?

I had a great time. I was staying with friends in Pimlico, London and the only time I ate out was on Monday, at a gourmet burger joint just off Carnaby Street. The person I ate with had no problems, so the cause remains a mystery. It's most likely I caught a flu bug despite having had the flu shot.
It certainly was chilly there, but try -16°C (-27 with the wind-chill taken into account) here in Toronto. At least it's sunny which brings some consolation I suppose. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Alienware® ALX X58
