Unfortunately, <a href="http://blog.plaxoed.com/2006/06/26/dell-problems/" rel="nofollow">my Vista machine died today</a> :( (don't worry, it was the hardware, not vista ;) ) Hopefully it'll be up and running again soon and I can try out the bug reporting tools...

It's in a large block of text, so you may have missed it if skimming (or, if not, could you screenshot that page for me? :-).
