    Has Windows 7 killed this site?

    I got my first PC in 2000. Believe me when I say I didn't know how to turn the thing on. My son then 21 showed me. About a year later I discovered the right click and what it would reveal. Then in 2002 I built my first PC.

    Coffee

    I have a Bunn coffee maker. And with price in mind, I think Folgers Black Silk is great. The Bunn isn't that cheap, but makes coffee fast and is easy to clean.

    Looking to upgrade my rig, any suggestions?

    I wouldn't put any money in the system you currently have, but if cost is an issue, the videocard is the thing to upgrade for games. More memory for photoshop. Photoshop will benefit too from videocard upgrade as well. IMHO.
