Might be able to get more resolution with less colors, or maybe if it was the primary display. In any case it is good enough for a terminal or ftp or chat, then I can use the main screen for audacity or whatnot.

I also edited my <a href="http://www.ucmh.org/guy-fawkes-day-or-how-to-really-mess-things-up/" rel="nofollow">second podcast</a>, and burned more CDs (including the podcast). Still need to get the printer working, its sad to think I have to use windows still to print stuff. Also, I did manage to mount a windows share, which I had been struggling with. Turned out I forgot to turn off the windows xp firewall, which was blocking all my attempts!
