Cool Dharma Initiative labels made by fan of Lost TV series:

http://maxpictures.com/weblog/2007/04/10/lost-labels-for-your-dharma-initiative-needs/

Not sure how legal it is to use these labels though…  Definitely do not use it in some money making scheme or you’ll get a crack legal assault team from Disney crashing into your home.   Hopefully the following statement might keep them off you like garlic is to vampires:   “Please watch all the commercials appearing on Lost and buy all the products recommended by them ”

Below are some of the ones I’ve downloaded from that website.

Will still have to look into their technology and see what makes them any better than competitors…

After installing winmagic on this dell laptop, the numlock would automatically turn on in the login screen of XP.   Very frustrating for a user when they type in their password incorrectly several times and not realize that it was because of the numlock key being activated.   Don’t know why winmagic does this with this Dell, but the quick solution is to do a search in the registry for “InitialKeyboardIndicators”, and change all occurances to “0″ (zero) .   I’ve found several having strange values of 0×800000 .  Anyways, after doing this, it seems to work properly again.
