If your curious about how Icons are created.

I have always been curious as to how icon files differ from regular images that we are used to seeing on the web and on our desktops.
I found a great page while looking for an Icon editor/creator. This page explains Icons very well. From task bar icons to shortcut Icons. It gives the size difference for MAC icons as well. They also describe the difference betwwen XP icons and Icons for previous desktop and server OS versions

"An icon is a graphic image, a small picture or object that represents a file, program, web page, or command. Icons help you execute commands, open programs or documents quickly. To execute a command by using an icon, click or double-click on the icon. It is also useful to recognize quickly an object in a browser list. For example, all documents using the same extension have the same icon.
That's almost all you need to know if you only use icons. But to create icons, which is the purpose of Axialis IconWorkshop, you need to more about them. What's the difference between a standard image and an icon image? What's the structure of an icon? How to create an icon which will display correctly on all screen configurations (size, colors...)? Can we save an icon to a file? Can we assemble several icons into one file? What about the new Windows XP icon format? "

I have not tried their software yet but when I do I'll post how well it worked. I read that it integrates somewhat with adobe photoshop.

The medical practice project is just about done.

Dual Channel DDR2 Shared Memory

Dell desktops with Dual Channel DDR2 Shared Memory.

Rolled out the 32 new Dell systems. Only three dells remaining in the their shipping containers. Those three were actually going to be just a perp for another support company to complete. They tie into their medical records software much more than all the other new computers and are better left to the group that support that software. WISE Decision! 

As far as memory, these systems were ordered with 1 GB each. That's right, each end-user's desktop was ordered with 1 GB of RAM. The type of RAM: Dual Channel DDR2 Shared Memory DDR2 is a new memory architecture that enables systems to improve performance and reduce power consumption. The amount of RAM you have determines how many programs can be executed at one time and how much data can be readily available to a program. It also determines how quickly your applications perform and how many applications you can easily toggle between at one time. Simply put, the more RAM you have, the more programs you can run smoothly and simultaneously. You could get this memory or the desktop dell's store at this link - http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/optix_gx620?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd
