You know that minimise button? Now THAT could be very helpful. Perhaps on your waistline if you have been sitting in front of progress bars recently!Filmed from thoughts that leaked from the mind of Michelle Goode.

We all know that impatience is the curse of the IT user. I mean, come on, we aren't getting any younger are we? And yet there we are, wasting the best years of our lives watching a spiny thing or a little egg timer if we are mac addicts. And that egg-timer just flips around when it is empty anyway.Okay, so maybe we weren't actually planning on doing anything with these 'best years', as we generally fear the outside and other humans. But that isn't the point!So what is the point? Oh yes, today's lesson. Don't click away on the mouse like a twitching chimp, just give in, surrender, and wait for the egg timer. Today's episode is from the prolific pen of Michelle Goode.

Mr Vista is stricken with a spot of the winter flu. But, hey, that's no problem for the geek-meister. He has just had his anti-virus application installed. Just as well his brain doesn't contain too many files!Guest writer: Michelle Goode. Music by Louis Derry.

Mr Vista has one final attempt at getting his Windows 7 inspired advert made. He says he has some ideas he just needs to print out. Yes, we can all see where this is going. But go with it. At least it is short. And the last one of these.

Mr Vista was so pleased to discover that you internet people enjoyed his half-assed spoof of the Windows 7 adverts that he has decided to do a take 2. It may all be going to his head, or at least his hat!

We were all very proud when YouTube wanted to feature Mr Vista as a case study in how to get the most out of their new 'Hot Spot' feature.Recognition, fame, pride. We all need such things. And who better to deliver it then a large, advert funded, mega corporation!This new feature allows you to see how a video holds the attention of the viewer. Adam Sense, from YouTube, talks through the system and how it could be used to make Mr Vista a richer experience for viewers everywhere. The man clearly understands the exciting nature of this new artform with an eye to the sensibilities of its growing audience and the boundaries of its aesthetic potential.

If you are going to use the Brain Transfer Kit (tm) then obviously make sure that you back your brain up first. Losing 10 years of photos when your hard drive goes down is nothing compared to having your mind reformatted. All those childhood memories can't be got back. But then maybe that is for the best. If only we could invent a brain RAID!More nonsense and so-called 'fun' at www.mrvista.net

The wage slave Mr Vista tries to plan a holiday. Economics intervene!This episode sees the return of the progress bar! At last!!! If you are late to the party then head on over to www.mrvista.net to see previous wranglings with the progress bar from hell.Seeing as how it was what started this whole ridiculous thing then it makes sense to have it in every now and again. In the same way that you have to invite that uncle around 3 times a year even though he smells of despair. Enjoy.Guest writer: Dom Carver

You know how it is. You ask for a personal jet pack, a simple enough request, and yet it never arrives!

Estimated time to microwave this dinner - 2 minutes. Yeah right! It seems like progress bars and the the back of food boxes have a lot in common! Today's fine episode was sent in by writer Dom Carver.
