How wonderfully articulate.

I really, really love the sound my espresso machine makes, especially
first thing in the morning. The sound my NT box makes when it begins to
thrash for no apparant reason is somewhat amusing, too.

Try using complete sentences. To give the impression of intelligence.

25+k what? Rubles? Lira? Yen? Cans of SPAM[tm]?

Cool. So commuting from, say, Buenos Aires is okay?

Ah... another enormous game for the X86 platform -- just what the world
needs!

Sounds wonderfully stable to me....

I'm starting a betting pool.

Well, one day you might be able to get a job.
