So, Cosby was onto something after all!

Elect more females to Congress and the various legislatures of the states.

Thanks, picked up the Chinatown Wars. :)

Appreciated. I'm not really fond of the idea of that many USB tuner sticks, though; I suspect they're using a bit more integrated system here, especially with 30 in what looks like a half-1U sized box.

My grandmother is elderly and can't walk any sort of distance, really, but refuses to use a wheelchair.
