Why? I've always wondered.


You see, when he was a little child, Steve Jobs came to his racing dojo. Once there, he defeated his master and took the sign from above the front entrance. In despair, KartRacer's (as he was called back then) master died shortly thereafter of a broken heart.

Beemer swore white hot blinding vengeance ever since.

I thought so...I get sick of burning DVDs personally....ideally I'm waiting for the day that Flash memory becomes so cheap we can just store data on Flash memory cheaply and economically...can you imagine....trading dramas on Flash Memory instead of DVDs that can get scratched or corrupted....that will be the day.

Give it 12 months or so.

You can pick up 1G drives for under $20, 12 months ago they were over $50

it'd be sooo much cooler to save doramas to flash memory cheaply...then you don't have to worry about dvd burners and all that crap.

It must be retarded-proof, 'cause I can use it. :beaten: :nut: :bonk:

It's a pretty versatile tool... And free. :dancing: :woot: :victory:

Yeah, Audacity is great for a free tool. Even I can use it ;)

OK, my lappy is good to go. Got a replacement battery and AC adaptor for about $120 total, now it's great.

One thing i'm still doing: Uninstalling printers. The boss has had, like, 3 different printers, but never uninstalled any of the crap that gets installed for any of them. :bleh:
