My EFI Live will be running via Virtual PC as it is a Winbloze application (as is HP Tuners)

Something is seriously wrong with you Stephen.

Oh yea, "Lilliput"? Geeeez, why didn't you get something that said, "Tulip", or "Tulip", or "Daisy", or "Puzzzyfoot", I know those bunny suits are wearing through.

Awesome!

Drivers side, rear. It connects between the engine and the chassis under the brake booster.

My God!!! I have never seen so many icons on the desktop and the taskbar displayed all at once in my entire life. What keeps these programs from using up all the memory that the computer works at all? I know that if I do not reboot every couple of days, mine will slow way down. I am impressed...never mind the car.

Now Stepehen, I am no computer guru like you, but I have been told that the desktop icons placed on the desktop and in the taskbar when loading software, that the program is always running in the background...that you are better off creating a shortcut on the desktop or taskbar due to using less memory resources. Is his BS or what???

Awesome!

I believe it's to be (lilliput, lilliputians) from the book "Gulliver's Travels" where there was a race of little people called the "Lilliputians".

Neat, can't wait to see this thing all hooked up and running.

That is a screenshot of an Apple Macintosh running OSX (BSD Unix) - not Microsoft Windows running XP or Vista.

The taskbar at the bottom is the "Launcher" - I only had iTunes, GimmeSomeTunes and iPhoto running at the time. I have 2gb of RAM in that bad boy and I have never run out of memory, even when using iMovie or Photoshop CS. I've also never had a crash or freeze up or any of the usual problems that plague Windows users.
