Yeah, but when you pop that cd in, after you click next and sell your soul to their EULAs, windows runs 30% slower and you've got a taskbar full of crap you never wanted, not to mention the required reboot and "please register this software" dialogs that never go away.
Of course they could have a dysfunctional driver packaged with their product. In that case you'll have to download their latest 50 mb driver. (think of the dial-up implications)
I had a much more frightening experience with a wells fargo atm, it was rebooting win2k. I was horrified enough to visit the teller and fill out a withdrawl slip.
Start out with Fahrenheit 451 since it's wonderful and short. Then up the tree to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, I couldn't follow the movie until after I read the book. Suddenly, everything started falling into place, and it wasn't just the phrases like
'Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a Highway Traffic Cop. Your normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow.'
Well, maybe you better stay away from it if you haven't seen the movie or hate ether for some reason.
I'll have to second that. I turn the speakers up so loud things fall off the desk. The radar pinging thing along with the little scratchy scratchy of the facehuggers is enough to send my heart racing. I think I would get a better workout by playing that game in the dark than running a mile. Although when the facehuggers get you and you don't expect it, that can almost trigger a heart attack.
I haven't seen them hit my robots.txt in the last logrotate term, but it's been on the disallow / for at least a month and I'm still flooded by their mindless drones.
