Loan Calculators

All I wanted to do was to punch in my loan term, monthly payment, and rate, then see what the total of my payments would be and the total interest... I searched for at least 30 minutes trying to find a page that did that! Every other page wanted me to punch in the principle as part of the calculation, but I did not have that info at my finger tips...

Here's the page:

A kangaroo walks into a bar...

A kangaroo walks into a bar and orders a martini. The bartender
figures that a kangaroo probably isn't very economically aware, and
charges him $50. The marsupial orders a beer next time, and is charged
$60. Finally, the bartender's curiosity gets the better of him. He
casually remarks, "You know, we don't get too many kangaroos in here."
The kangaroo replies, "At these prices, no wonder."

Really nice list of clicks, creaks, rattles, etc, and what the most probable causes are and how to fix them. Very handy indeed!

PDFCreator

PDFCreator is a free little PDF creator (duh) for Windows. It "adds" a new printer to your system to print to PDF.

I never print anything at home... Mainly because my printer is out of ink and I'm too cheap to by more. However, with PDF Creator, I can print receipts from online purchases to PDF and archive them. When I need a hard copy, I can easily print it somewhere else (*cough* *work*).

Plus, I don't have a bunch of receipts laying around that I never really need.

Use "dislocate" to created a re-connectable process

Use: dislocate

Eventually, use ^] to disconnect. Later on, reconnect to the Linux server, run "dislocate" w/o parameters, and choose the session to reconnect to. Much easier than "screen" for simple situations!
