@Reutnes: even worse: I'm a grad student living on loans.

@Jason Tracy: People have been good at lying about where they are, long before cell phones were invented.

EARTHQUAKE!

@Solarusdude: +1

@Spaceboy: *raises hand* I just finished reading a few sneaker blogs, so I also read it as "Reebok..." :P

@tekwiz30: The JetBlue AYCJ FAQ is here: [www.jetblue.com]

@eaglesfan: In this age, you can't be a Renaissance man — there's just too much to know.

@Jason Fitzpatrick: Maybe I'm not understanding, but I would keep the two things (hosting/storage and the favor of mailing the urgent item) separate.

@Anirudh Choudhary: Office apps (Word, Excel, Access) are usually not included as part of MSDNAA.

@ggranum: I "appreciate" your comment. :) You're right, of course. Houses depreciate; real estate MIGHT appreciate.
