So, if my computer suddenly dies, it is because I just noticed that on the side of the box of CD-Rs I bought last night, it says, "For computer burning."  So, apparently my computer won't so much die as burst into flames.  Lesson?  Aways read the label.

I just received an e-mail from 2.0, and it contained the following advice (caps hers).  DO NOT E-MAIL THE TRUTH TO YOUR MOM.
