Off-Topic: Cool Windows XP Utilities
While not directly related to Cisco, I ran across these "PowerTools" for Windows XP that I found quite handy. Feel free to use them if you'd like:
CMDHere: Adds "Open Command Window Here" to your right-click menu when selecting a folder in XP - voila! insta-command prompt.
TaskSwitch: Greatly improves the ALT-TAB functionality of Windows XP; adds preview window
ImageResize: Allows you to resize any image to a reasonable window resolution (great for my 8 Megapixel camera that creates picures over 1 MB)
DeskManager: Gives you the Linux feel of multiple desktops. Right-click on the taskbar -> choose toolbars -> select Desktop Manager after you install this.

TaskSwitch was slow when I tried it... CMDhere is much more useful! :)

Thx for the tools.
Off topic, Jeremy, are you teaching any of the CCNA classes early 2007 at interface by chance?? If you happen to be, when??
Thanks..
Billy.

I'm sure I am - I think it will be near the end of the month (they only run one CCNA class a month)

Jeremy, off topic but you mentioned in the ISCW CBT nugget wondering how stratum 0 NTP servers actually know the time. I believe it's by counting the number of vibrations of a cesium atom.
