      Yes, son, it'll blend. I hear those install distro DVDs blend real well in one of these. :-)

    Anyone else getting these annoying-ass automated "your automobile warranty is about to expire" telemarketing nuisance calls? What a bunch of professional parasites. If anyone provides the company name and contact information for these fly-by-night assholes who hang up on you as soon as you ask them any questions (because we all know reputable companies are afraid to tell you the company name) I will gladly file complaints with the Better Business Bureau.
