Not sure I follow, but I'm aware that I can click Cancel and the page won't be bookmarked. But that doesn't make this problem any less annoying. That dialog shouldn't pop up when I'm trying to open the Bookmarks menu.

Firefox 3.0.1: Accidentally Adding Bookmark Problem

Hi, This problem is driving me absolutely nuts. It's happening with Firefox 3.0.1 on my ThinkPad as well as my wife's. I can't find anything about it anywhere Firefox-related, which leads me to believe that it might have to do with the way that Firefox interacts with ThinkPads in particular. Here's ...

Well as you say you can try it and see how it sounds. But all digital outs are not at all the same: do some Googling about jitter . S/PDIF outs from computers generally have terribly high jitter, and thus aren't generally considered appropriate for audiophile setups. (Unless you have a jitter-immune...

I have a 14.1" T61p, and the most noticeable aspect of the TMD screen is an extreme blue tint. Colors were way off. I did correction with an Eye-One Display 2 and the difference is dramatic. With correction, the screen is perfectly acceptable, imho.

Yes, WSXGA+ is lower resolution than WUXGA.

Scaling fonts might have other unexpected (or expected, if you've previously dealt with them before) problems in XP (and even Vista, if reports are to be believed) such as blockifying bitmaps, but readability of the text is not one such problem.
