Ahne, Right on, especially about the little things at the bottom of one's screen. More turned of, more efficiency. I don't operate below 88% until the day is done. Then I reboot and get rid of all the nasties. I would say you don't manage quality - you manage processes, once in control (remember the definition of control), to ensure product quality meets specified requirements. Don't forget that F8 key to tune up your system so efficiency is maximized. Of course maximimum efficiency is a key word in any envrionment notwithstanding windows.
