The Help MVPs are now digging into LongHorn.Help as provided in a Windows LongHorn build made available to both the WinHEC 2004 attendees and as available to MSDN subscribers. Unfortunately, as the media is DVD-based I'm as yet unable to participate. I'm looking at DVD drives, but just haven't picked one up for my Windows box yet. I'm actually looking at the new Sony DRU-700A dual-layer recorder, the first of its kind. For only $200 for the internal version, you really can't beat it, considering what it's capable of. Unfortunately for the school the drive is Windows-only at this point. But I'm sure that will change.

As to that so-called nationwide gas boycott the other day ... yeah, right! You're going to have the gas already in the tank that you need, or you'll just have to get it later. Either way, the oil companies weren't affected whatsoever. The only way such a boycott would work would be for one to last a week or so, and have it be a REAL boycott, with no "stocking up" before or having to fill the tank afterward anyway. But that'll never work as folks have things to do, so the oil companies have us over a very expensive barrel.

Gas Station Attendant: "Sir, did you have any gas?"

Me: "Nope, haven't been to Taco Bell yet today."
