Maybe the Old Ones gave your professor a call. ;) Nah, I kid. You earned it, tsuki! :D

Yeah, I knew it would pay off to include those arcane spells on the works cited page. :lol:

I replaced my bedroom TV with a new 26" HDTV (full HD 1080p). Though the outgoing model was a similar sounding 24" the difference in size is quite noticeable. However, there are two other benefits factoring into the upgrade: the new TV has 2 HDMI ports rather than just one, so I don't need to use a separate HDMI switch, and the new TV supports HDCP, which the old model did not.

... so I'm now on the good side of the DRM police. :roll:

Had a very... disjointed day today at work. I had to work in an area I hadn't in a while, and of course things were different. Also, while driving home I was behind someone who felt it a good idea to go 30 in a 40 MPH zone... and no, traffic was not that heavy.

You English are so optimistic buying convertibles in your climate. :P

There's more convertibles per head in the UK than any other part of the world. Most other countries you would be hard put to use one as the weather is too hot. In California and the like of Spain for example people tend to hide in their air conditioned boxes.

Only ever been in one Convertible, a horrible little Mitsubishi Colt. Wasn't that enamored.

Yes, but these are a very different kettle of fish. The BMW is a 3.0L that does 0-60 in 5.9 seconds and corners like it's on rails.

The Merc is better at 3.5L and 0-60 in 5.4 seconds. :)

I hope that is in MPH not KPH because 60 KPH isn't impressive.

It is better for you to get a convertible than someone in California despite your infamous weather. With a convertible in California you will get sunburned pretty bad and you will still sweat.

Now that I ponder, I don't think I've ever been in a convertible.

Wow. Now that you mention it, I don't think I have either. Weird.

Well, New Hampshire weather wouldn't be too kind to it, methinks.
