Well maybe not, but the recent updates to my G4 aimed at bringing digital audio out to Loretta combined with my NAD receiver and Paradigm speakers is a big improvement both in volume and clarity, not that I needed the former.

I’d like to say it was a joyous celebration of life, OK I will say it was a joyous celebration of life, no one else will. The film is also very very clever, cunning if you will, so cunning you can brush your teeth with it.

When I got to work this morning, Canoe.ca had a list of these. It was predictable they had Star Wars first and it was good to see the original King Kong. But any list that leaves out 2001: A Space Odyssey is majorly flawed.
