I paid about $13 for each album in physical form, both of which arrived today.Unfortunately, after seeing the Brad Sucks album on Amazon, I'm a little disappointed. I expected to get the CD in full retail form with cover art, CD artwork, maybe a lyric sheet, and thanks to Mom..http://use.perl.org/~statico/journal/27627?from=rss threading- November 14, 2005 Someone mentioned certificates on the Boston.pm mailing list.

The "Sorry, a system error occurred" dialog still produces that stomach-flipped-inside-out-and-is-eating-my-spleen feeling despite not seeing the real thing for years.From a distance, the screensaver is quite convincing.

I liked writing on the tablet, and the stylus' response seemed quicker than the last time I tried writing on a Tablet PC. The X series is also really, really light, and simply felt like I was holding a well-packed three-ring binder. I wish I had had one when I first started college as they would have been incredibly useful. A friend just got a new IBM ThinkPad X series tablet. I got to try out its notetaking capabilities by copying down.http://use.perl.org/~statico/journal/27430?from=rss flickr whacking- November 1, 2005 I seem to be the only result for photos tagged with "Tomb Raider" and "tattoo."
