Based on this list, I think we have some time before the END.

I took the opportunity to have our team meeting using Microsoft’s SharedView software. It really worked well. We connected five PCs to mine as the host. I could control what the others could see. It could be a specific application or my desktop. Others on the connection could take control and display their desktop.
All of us were on the company network, so we didn’t try it through a firewall. We will try that another day. The documentation does say that it works through firewalls.
The one requirement that didn’t cause me problems, but may for others is you must have a Windows Live ID to start the SharedView session.
All in all, it worked well and doesn’t cost anything like a WebEx session.

I really enjoy having podcasts and video’s on my iPod for use in the car, working out at the YMCA or biking. I have been having trouble lately getting Channel 9 videos on to my iPod. I would download the video in iPod format and then add them to my iTunes library. When I tried to synch the videos to my iPod, I would get a message that said the video was not sent to the iPod because it would not play on that device.
This morning before work, I googled with Bing and found the answer. After the files are in the movie library of iTunes, select the videos, and click Advanced and then Create iPod or iPhone version. This takes a while, but it creates another copy of the video that will synch with the iPod.
Now I have lots of videos to “watch” in the car.
