In all seriousness, Intel's graphics chips have an excellent driver
available for them (the new "intel" driver as opposed to the older "i810")
that can even do a subset of accelerated 3D rendering with some nicety. They
also have the advantage of being low-power. One of the really awesome things
about using an Intel graphics chip on a laptop is the xrandr 1.2 support
which pretty much guarantees that you'll be able to plug your laptop in to a
projector and have it "just work".

A couple of people have indicated that I should clarify this:
What I'm looking for is someone with time available to take on supporting
this site, given the server situation, and the fact that they need
occasional tech support.
People who are looking for full time work really aren't suitable, because
they'll eventually be unavailable. People who don't want to babysit XP
boxes would be unhappy.
Someone who's building or running a consulting tech support operation
would be ideal, or other doing other small-job consulting would be ideal.
Someone like I was a year ago, or like Dale Beams with a bunch of
different part-time tasks would do too.

And here I was thinking that Yahoo might remain my
favorite E-mail provider and webhosting service.
Anyone think that my Yahoo webhosting on a Linux
server will survive such a buyout?

I dumped my Hotmail account shortly after Micro$oft bought them out and they became unreliable. I might have to do the same with my Yahoo! account now. Please Yahoo!, don't sell.

I'm really hoping they don't sell. I've been on Yahoo
EMail since 1998 and it would be really hard to switch
to something else. My wife's artist website is on
Yahoo's webhosting, and I doubt very much that M$
would retain any Linux servers in a new "Microsoft
Yahoo".

I don't remember when I signed up for my Yahoo! account, but it was
back long enough ago that it is only a 5 char username. Now it's
mostly just a spam catch-all and a Craigslist filter. I don't give
out my "good" GMail address to just any site.
Jon.
