The white $50 hike is Apple tax for royalties, right?

Look into Aerogarden, basil grows like wild weeds in them. Other herbs, lettuces, flowers, peppers and such, do pretty well too.

Ron, true Thief is gone. Enjoy the fact that FMs are prolific.

re: DX, no deal for us PC users, but then again, I did pre-order.

Jesus, I'd like to meet you in person. I have no doubt that you're a perfectly nice person and I do like like some of your work. You obviously have talent. but you also come off as a bit of a bully sometimes, so it would be nice to dispel that. We all get cranky, and you, creative types, possibly more than the rest.…

Regarding the low-ish resolution: just the other day I fired up my old HP dv9700 with a 1600x900 screen, and even on a 17" behemoth it looks nice and crisp.

If it had another USB port, a 6770M and a second drive (SSD) option, it wouldn't be.

Hm, you ever get tired of batin' to your Macbook?

note as elegant, but 1/7 of the price:

And replaced it with a horrible, horrible jingle.

You meant bloggers, right?

Still plug it in every once in a while.

Cyclon? As in a vacuum cleaner, i presume.

yup, if you get lucky and they change the limit, we can definitely work something out.

Morton's will get this many more customers over the weekend from his numerous followers. Of course it's a stunt. Gotta love the surprised look on his face though, good acting.

Hah, that was refreshing. Way to round up the week, Matt. Thanks.
