Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
Steph, I have the 32G one. If you go lower than that, you lose some functionality with the Touch.
That's right -- I remember reading that in a CNet review. Hell, when I bought my ancient iPod mini 4 years ago, it was a refurb, and it was still ~$210-ish, IIRC. For a 4G mini. So $279 for a *new* 32G Touch is fine w/me.
Gah. There's an Apple store in the mall across the street from my office, and, being Instant Gratification Girl, I really want to go get one NOW.

I got Fast Video Converter for free, and am allowed to give away the license key to 10 people. I don't know anyone else who might want to use it, so I thought I'd share it here.

I'd love it, but I would need to download to the home computer and I'm sure that it will get snatched up by the time I get home.

I'm not sure I qualify as a lurking Buffista, but Deena I'd love to use the key. I've been curious about this software for a while now.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I love my ASUS netbook. I agree with the recommendation to try out as many keyboards and configurations as possible. I couldn't have coped with a smaller keyboard.

Sure, ehab, feel free! Vortex, you could always call dibs on one, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can I get one, Deena?

Is that okay? If so, I'm calling dibs! :) I'll try when I get home and hope that there's still one left1

Thanks Deena. I wonder how it knows how many are used? Perhaps they're keeping track centrally. There was no obvious counter when I plugged the key in.
