Don’t make any jokes<\/a> about drunk pilots on America West flight or you’ll find yourself booted off the plane. I don’t know what recourse this woman has, but I’ll avoid flying their fascist airline from now on. That’s utterly ridiculous.<\/p>\n

I broke down and bought a bunch of wireless networking stuff from Netgear. I’ll let you know how the install goes. I’m hoping to be able to have wireless in The Boy’s computer, but also be able to steal the card for my work laptop when I bring it home so I can browse the Internet downstairs.

They always ship fast, but fast for free rocks. I hope this price war with Amazon<\/a> lasts forever. I love competition. The consumer always wins! Anyway, buy from Buy.com<\/a>.
