The Simple Dollar likes to claim he's an average guy but in reality he ends up preaching his lifestyle. It's why I don't read his blog anymore.

Shooting in RAW is a waste but hey, it's your disk space/bandwidth. But then, I shoot slides ...

So I guess NoE will be getting lots of export sales from people who can easily crack their Wii to play imports, right?

There are two women in my IT department already (out of 5) and I don't think the culture is any different than anywhere else.

Acer? NOTHANKYOU.jpg!! Acer is great if you want an overpriced hotplate. My father-in-law seems to love them (along with their alternate brand E-Machines) because they are cheap.
