I wanted to make sure his comment got plenty of visibility, since he was kind enough to write it. The last thing I want to do is inadvertantly malign someone or some piece of software unfairly. I’ve read through the information at the link Steve left above, and I’d say they have a good handle on things.
Thought I’d mention, today work upgraded my laptop from a Dell Dimension Latitude D620 to a D630. We run dual-screen off a docking station (sure helps when writing code), once with VGA and one with HDMI. My VGA would randomly have a blue tint to it, and then switch back. Still readable, just colors screwed up. Switched monitors, problem followed the cable. Tried different docking station, followed the laptop. Apparently something about the VGA output on the D620 flaking out. I figured I’d have to deal with a loner until they got it fixed under warranty. Lucky me, they just upgraded me instead. So now I’ve got to load all my little tools and such on the new laptop tonight so I’ll be halfway productive again tomorrow.
Forgot to mention, although I do still like Digsby, and I still use it, it DOES have the annoying requirement of having a Digsby login that controls everything else. On the plus side, I installed Digsby on my new laptop at work, and all I had to do was log into Digsby – apparently my AIM, Twitter and Facebook info is stored within my Digsby account on one of their servers somewhere. That can be good or bad, depending on how you look at it, but for ease of use, it was nice to have.
