Hey Jeff, your mailbox is full again. I didn't want to keep cluttering up the newbie's thread regarding unioning and the like, he's got enough confusion going on, but don't sweat it. I didn't take it the way you think I did, I just felt like a moron when I realized I'd skipped something rather basic, obvious after the fact, and essential.
Now, where's my sock? ... 😀

I'm just growing tired of having to explain Microsoft's commercials to my wife. Some idiot on the screen says "To the Cloud..." and I have to explain that no, that's VPN, or no, that's Photoshop, and that's not new at all.case in point: http://blog.juggle.com/2010/12/06/the-cloud-is-a-lie-how-microsofts-to-the-cloud-ads-confuse-and-mislead/[/url]
Wonderful marketing, I'm sure it allows them to sell "cloud-enabled" tech at a higher cost, but highly annoying.
I like the ad where they're in the airport and they can watch something they have Tivoed at home on their laptop. At the end when the woman says "Yay cloud" she sounds pretty sarcastic to me.
When I read this quoted in your response, it almost comes across as a sexist remark, wanted to take this opportunity to apologize for the way that was phrased. I'm not explaining something to my wife *because* she's my wife, it's purely a coincidence that I know something that she doesn't. In fact, it happens so rarely that it makes it all the more annoying to waste it on something like bad marketing... 🙂
Well, I didn't take it as sexist. I have the same discussions with my husband - because I'm the techie, and he's not. For what it's worth - I didn't read your comment as sexist, but more as "techie talking to non-techie partner".
Hopefully, no one ends up actually taking offense at the comment!

Okay I'll be offended, but by Ki's comment. I can't believe her husband doesn't understand it.

My PM is full because I got tired of private calls for help. I'll respond to the emails of most of the thread denizens if you ever need to go that route.
Understood on the newbie thread and partitioned views. And I've found that plain white cotton socks taste much better than argyle. 😛

Personally preferring nice nylons myself, but that may have more to do with who I have in mind wearing them at the time....

I'm confused, do you mean you have someone in mind that is wearing them or do you mean you have someone in mind while you are wearing them? : -)
