So, I did an upgrade to Office 2007 Student/Teacher a month ago, so I could take advantage of Excel's new capabilities of huge spreadsheets. I have to admit that the suite is starting to grow on me. Oh, the ribbon has its moments. You keep looking for something that you know is there, but by god, its lost. But I am finding that the more I use it, the easier it gets.
But is it me, or is this suite a serious memory hog? I have never had my XP Laptop give me more "running short on memory, increasing page size" then since using this suite pretty extensively in the past couple weeks.
I ended up throwing in an extra Gb of ram to try to accomodate it (heck, laptop ram is now dirt cheap). But I definitely notice that it works a helluva lot better on the new dual-core w/2GB in my office, then it is on this Pentium-M, 2 1/2 yr old laptop.

I went into msconfig, and wiped out several programs; but its annoying Lenovo has about 10 or 12 processes itself, and its pretty hard to tell which ones are needed and which ones are not. I guess I need to start googling each one and see what I find.
I guess I may have been a bit unclear; I can run each and every program; the memory hog issue comes from running several, and then having the system tell me it is running out of memory.
For me the downside with a laptop is that it isn't quite as easy as a desktop to just wipe the hard drive and just do a fresh install of the OS - to clean things out. So many drivers specific to the machine, I'd be a bit nerved by the prospect.

I had to do a fresh WinXP install on a ThinkPad for a user and all the drivers are on their website. The laptop originally came with Vista and 2 GB of RAM and it was very slow. We decided to install XP and the laptop is more responsive.
As far as your original question, I'd say yes Office 2007 uses more resources than Office 2003 or Office XP. Any computer with 2 GB should be able to handle it well though.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

Yup, I agree, I'd rather be 2 or 3 till the last few weeks.They get cruel sometimes, very very cruel.
Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
