Bryan's dashboard

I work with Thunderbird on a college campus, where users profiles roam with them. I'm always getting the question of why they can't open Tbird in two locations. We know that the Mozilla products generate a file named parent.lock, and that while that file is in existance, the application won't open on other machines.
The parent.lock file is also unreadable by text editors.
I would like to propose the idea of making the error message tell the user what computer the application is being run on.

I'd like to see the ability to use the Web-based interface for Winamp Remote (a service viewable and audible at winamp.orb.com, and broadcasted by the Winamp Remote application on home computers).
I've attempted to get to this service via the Songbird web interface, but the service seems to attach only to Winamp 5.5 at the moment, though there is a browser based player as well.
Is there any hope for support of this service? Or is there an alternative/similar service I can use that is supported by Songbird?

I'd like to see a FoxMarks-like addon for Thunderbird to sync up mail filters between computers. Acts just the same way as FoxMarks, probably without the online access to the filters, but more easily merged, added, and kept in sync between many computers.
I'm an IT Engineer, so I have three accounts I'm on all day (laptop, basic work, admin work, plus my home comp). I'd love to be able to sync all the mail filters I have between them. Possibly even my accounts!
