When they started doing that with the tests, I was impressed.

That is funnier than crap, Jim.  "Smaller than iTunes-" should be a slogan. :)

Last time I transferred 40 gigs, over a gig network connection, took foreverrrr.
12 minutes!  LOL =)

Heh!  I was talking to some people the other day, explaining how sometimes
it's faster to ship hard drives across the country in trucks...

I love it all, man.  I'm a techie.  Love it love it love it.  I also
aim for honesty-
I know there's that whole subjective nature of reality bit- and thus,
well, - :-P

Anyways, sorry if I came off harsh or anything.  I'm not a rabid supporter-
I am however, impressed with the direction the company has gone, and find
the whole progression interesting and well, entertaining.

The religion bit is a turn off, I try not to be an OS-Thumper. :-)
I am, however, a bit of an MS basher- I mean, I still love it- I love it all-

Probably the same issue you have with macs, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wholey sheet!
Isn't that just the way it works , tho!  I'm gonna try to work on that.

Cuz that's how it works.
