@dub08: I got 3.11 on a CD from Gateway. I also got a free upgrade disc for Win95 from them a couple of months later.

@LukeDukem: I didn't realize Eccentrica Gallumbits was that cute.

@Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer: That's Mr. President, to you.

@jackbling: DVDs and HDTVs don't sit uncomfortably over the eyewear I already wear.

Android phones that have been "Sensed" by HTC can bet set to mount the SD card aut0matically upon connection. No additional software is necessary.
