Is there anything for vista like xp’s power toy image resizer?

It has the same functionality as the XP power toy. Right-click, resize image.

MS Paint, save as gif
What program are [...]

My new cable connection with Cox really sucks compared to the old ISP I used to have ( ) even though they were rated as the same speed 12/1. When my new connection starts dogging I’ll start seeing times in the 150’s-200’s, and then it will improve, but I almost never see any times [...]

So I was talking to this guy at a computer company, and he basically said I’d be better off with an awesome Duo core computer than an decent quad core system. Among the reasons he gave, the main one was that most programs don’t make use of the quad core. So basically, it’s a waste [...]
