    OK, something to clarify: IBM did not get bought. IBM sold it's PC business to the Chinese company.
    Here comes the revolution; time for the retribution.

    Eggsactly. In fact, I am so impressed with TechZ's topics lately,.. I even made a topic about this stuff, nominating him as official tech news source of WD. Like for instance, if a few people were arguing about the facts in a news story,.. we could just to go TechZ to get the REAL facts. I think it would be pretty cool to know that we have an official in-house news source.

    Its not easy, with these new java script ads on WD
    http://mjxads.internet.com/RealMedia...31623832386430

    some times it takes a bit to load the page, and teh 30 second rule really ticks me off, its prolly important and all, but for a dialup user it truly sucks. Thanks for the kind words though, I come on about once a day and try and do it early so everyone gets the news before they log on, the time difference really helps
