I like Monaco the band, but not Monaco the font. I have not yet been to the principality.

comment Windows XP Personalized Start Menu: how long until a program is hidden?
To be honest I'm trying to see if I can get the Programs menu completely empty. For the programs I launch regularly I use the run command, creating a shortcut if it's not already in the PATH.

comment What are the Windows A: and B: drives used for?
IIRC Robert X Cringely said in Triumph of the Nerds (whichever one was the documentary of Accidental Empires, which I have somewhere) that the drive letters came from CP/M, which pre-dated DOS.

comment How do you explain more advanced computing concepts to a non super user?
Sometimes I remember the content, if the person doing the presenting did a good job. (And I'd use Keynote if I could :) ) On the other hand, I don't sit down and make a presentation for every question asked of me.

comment How to avoid keyboard layout automatically changing on windows
So that's why Visual studio used to keep switching my input method. I press ALT and SHIFT with my left hand and hit F10 with my right hand.
