Great product and big praise for providing free non-commercial version. However, for remote desktop control Logmein [free version] has a number of advantages such as browser based solution, OSX support and no restrictions on concurrent sessions.

Even better .. I just hit an arrow key once (after selecting move) and then you can position the window anywhere you want using the mouse - left click to release. Using just the arrow keys is waaaay too slow.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
