I'm thinking about buying a Nintendo DS. The last games console like this that I purchased was one of the
original Gameboys. Please educate me on what's what.

I recall seeing a quiz on the internet some time ago, that asked you about 20 questions, and then told you how logical your thought processes were, and told you why. Do you know where I can find this quiz?

Imagine you're browsing ebay for an item you want to buy. Two sellers have exactly the same item. What is it that persuades you to buy from one seller as opposed to the other?

I'm trying to locate a New Age-y type book that I owned a few years ago. I can't remember what it's called, sadly.

I'd like some more info on this new
Colgate Weekly Clean toothpaste, but I'm loathe to ask the manufacturer, because they'll obviously be biased. So, is it as good as they make out?

I've read the previous threads on shaving, and got some useful tips, but my query is slightly different. I use an electric shaver, specifically
this one. What product can I use with it to help reduce the redness and irritation? I've tried the recommended Nivea products, and while they
do make the shaver glide easier, I still get the irritation.

What HTML code do I need to add to my Blogger blog template to automatically underline all the links I make in a blog posting? I can get the links to show up in the correct colour, but that colour is quite close to black, so I'd like the text to be highlighted another way, one that is expected when linking.
I do not want to change the colours.
I'm pretty thick when it comes to HTML, so I'd really appreciate it if you were quite explicit when saying where it has to be.
The blog is linked to in my profile, if you need to see the page source.

I need some really REALLY basic spreadsheet help. I've been given the task of creating a spreadsheet that will work out for us several things - how many orders we need in total and per week, how much revenue this will bring, etc. I've got most of it worked out, but I can't for the life of me how to work out percentages.
Yes, I did Google this before asking. :D

I have a touch lamp, which I'm finding incredibly useful to turn off when I'm half asleep. However, I'm also a bit of an eco-warrior. I've been looking online, and found that a small amount of energy is supplied to the lamp at all times. Surely that must be costing me something?
