Welcome, variabl3. As I'm now no longer certain who the hell I am, I'll be taking a short vacation to the Trembling Hills Center for the Very Nervous. See you again soon.

These days, either Maxtor or IBM. I used to use Western Digital exclusively, but their qaulity seemed to take a dive a couple years ago. When 8 gig drives became standard and affordable, I had 3 WD 8 giggers die on me in 8 months. I've never gone back.

4800 MhZ crunching genome at JJR.

There's no way in hell that I will ever use an OS that requires you to notify Microsoft when you perform a hardware upgrade (and that is, in effect, what this will do). I license their software, that's true, but I should have the ability to do whatever I want with the hardware, and not have to...

Cool! I hope they gave ya a really big honkin' raise to go with that new title.

That's the same warranty I extend to family members. Is he prepared for the 3 AM phone calls asking how to defrag a hard drive? :D Congrats on the new machine.

What make/model of printer is it?

It's all gonna come down to the writing.

Err, I live in Atlanta. What the hell is "snow"? :D

Well, after last night, my Braves are three up in the NL East. Unfortunately, most of our remaining games are at home, where we couldn't beat a college team this year. Don't give up yet, Phillies fans, we may still screw it up.

Wrong, Chuckles. I can't get DSL or cable at my house. I am stuck on 56k for eternity.

I think it was flavio who was looking for those lyrics. BTW, didn't they have an album due out today?

And their attitudes got really cold...
