You're welcome! Think nothing of it! That was the least I could do...

Nothing so extravagant. Right now it's 3 left handed Ibanez'. (2 Acoustic electrics, the other is a "sort of" Les Paul, loosely copied (ART-100)).I'll say..

I "remembered" to buy this for myself for Memorial Day; http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guit...t-handed-exotic-wood-acoustic-electric-guitar Again, it was the least I could do. The onboard chorus is really cool, you can get Byrdsey sort of sounds without wrestling with a real 12 string.
I should pull out some old "Airplane" slides, to see exactly what Paul Kantner usually played. I think he was a Strat kind of guy, not sure though.

Nah man, I have to work hard just to be able to suck.Nice!

It's figured ash. That's the only model in their "Exotic Wood" series, offered off the rack left handed. http://www.ibanez.com/AcousticGuitars/Series-ew I'd commit all sorts of indiscreet acts if they'd build me one of the 12 strings.
I thought you played keyboards?

That's my sole motivation. Fire up the stereo with my favorite tunes, strum along, and be thankful my cats don't judge.
I don't know how much you've kept up with musical equipment, but this floored me, "digital modeling amps" : http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/peavey-vypyr-15-15w-1x8-guitar-combo-amp#used
I have that little Peavey, it'll easily to keep up with the stereo. Funny thing though, it will, on occasion crash like a computer! Wow! Oh well, you can't blame it on Windows.

I pay attention to them as needed. When my computer runs slow or acts strange you better bet that's the first place I look. And with windows 7 resource monitor you can sort them by the cpu ram and network they are taking up. I know there are probably all sorts of similar tools but for a modest user its pretty damn handy.

37 with a few extra things running, have an habit of killing anything new that crops up when installing programs. Habit came from two rigs past when memory was a problem, not an issue anymore but still like it clean. Too many programs assume I want an extra process as some sort of badge for installing them, most are completely useless anyway.

I use to be a perfectionist about my processes until I got two quad-core xeons and 8GB ram four years ago running on S5000Xvn intel board.
I use to care about my Start Menu and My Document's organization until Windows Vista.
When can I stop caring about filing and cleaning my desktop items before going home?

No, the "Dormouse" is a character from "Alice in Wonderland", on which the song is loosely based (I spelled it wrong). (Also, sorry for stating the probably obvious).
Meet the "dormouse": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dormouse
Everybody hears the words to "White Rabbit" slightly differently, there really isn't a lot of clarity in the original recording. I wonder if the lyrics were included in the original liner notes. These seem about the most "rational" of what a search yielded: http://www.babaganoo.com/songs/white.html
While I typed this response, I had 38 processes running on my mighty eMachines T-5026......Yay

As somebody who goes way off topic quite often, I'm not criticizing mind you, but that isn't the answer to the question. A "tab" isn't a process. It's a place where you find pornography on a computer with 218 of them open.
Enjoy it while you can. When you get to be my age, you're not even allowed to do that.

Honestly, TechSpot, this topic is no fun. This is the most boring Weekend Open Forum you have done since I started visiting your site daily. Of all the fun and interesting things in the world of computers that we could be talking about, you want to engage your readers in a debate about processes? Come on. A little effort please. This made me depressed. I'll remain depressed for another 5min at the very least. You made that happen. It's all on you.
