    Damn, hadn't heard of cat 7. Still, looking it up, is cheaper than the combo stuff. A double run to each outlet in the house should be good.

    I'm planning on using a Mac server with movies ripped to MPEG-4 files, shared out by iTunes, a gigabit switch and wall mounted iMacs for the players. Much simpler than a whole house a/v system. Will only have home theater set up in living room, with stereo sound from all the iMacs in the rest of the rooms. Might have to get either an Apple TV or a Mac Mini hooked up to home theater receiver.

    Can't stand movies that have glasses with flat glass in them. Can tell they're not real. Hell, if you can't start a fire with your glasses, you don't deserve to call them glasses.

    I asked a girl to the prom but she told me she wasn't going. I worked that night at a pizza place, putting anchovies under the cheese of all the pizzas. Later, I found out she had gone to the prom, but had shown up with her girl friend. Apparently, everyone but me knew she was gay. Man, high school sucked.

    Don't forget Clinton's Blunder in the Balkins!

    We lost over.. zero troops there. And then we had a... lasting peace established. And we were noted, by both Muslim and European countries for... accomplishing such a difficult task so well, while earning world approbation from our leadership while working with NATO.

    Of course, Clinton was responsible for reducing military readiness by... increasing military spending by 7% during his administration, and, then there was that nation building thing, using U.S. troops, that all right thinking people oppose.

    But yeah, there was that lying under oath thing, that cost some many people their lives, shredded the Constitution and ruined U.S. reputation around the world.

    Darn you Clinton. Darn you to heck!
