I am a sucker for "new" pops, last year was the big unveiling of Dr Pepper Red Fusion and Pepsi Blue, both of which were horrible IMO and Vanilla Coke which pretty good.  This year so far I have seen a new Tropical Sprite which is actually tasty and would be a good mixer.  The other I saw yesterday and I am looking forward to trying it, Mountain Dew Live Wire, it is a more Orangy Mountain Dew, the king of sodas.  They only had two liters at the grocery store yesterday, I'll wait for the 20 oz bottle.  

I have a Leatherman as well, can't remember which one.  I don't carry it everyday, only while fishing and hunting

ROUND 2

Western Conference

Eastern Conference

#1
vs
#4

#2
vs
#6

After sweating a little with my Bad Boys pick of Detroit they finally showed up and took care of O-Town, they should be able to beat the one man wonder in 7.  These are all great matchups, and I am really looking forward to the Spurs/Lakers series.  Parker and Duncan is a better combo than Hudson/KG and should be able to beat the Lakers, depends on if Shaq shows up or not, SPurs in 6!  I'll also take Sacramento in 6 and Boston in 6 in the other two series,

The high stick was OK, 4 minutes was rough, the cheesiest penalty was the hook in regulation that sent it to 4 on 4...horrible

Oh well...might as all lose in the same week. Go Twins!

Say MisterPL, what involvement did you have with WEG?  Those Alien books look awesome...I was planning on once the DWL:ROTJ finishes up next month to go to that Wacky Star Wars Bar and see who wins the Battle Royale

I was a Mac fan until I graduated from College...I had to make the switch since Windows is pretty much standard in the business and science.   There are tons o' problems with Windows stuff too so I am not a total fanatic, the memories of my Mac continually crashing while writing term papers still haunts me

The concept of a monitor and computer in one thing is a great one methinks

Well, After minutes of research, I took the plunge and went with a Dell...

2.2 GHz Pentium 4
256 MB RAM (I have another 256 Card in my current computer)
30 GB Hard Drive
17" Mointor
CD and CD-RW

Which pretty much covers the highlights, all for $600 shipped after applicable rebates and junk.  I was quite pleased with what I am getting and can finally retire old Bessy, a 233 MHz with 1 GB Hard Drive which is about plum full.  I am going to suprise my wife next week...hopefully she doesn't read this
