   There's a lot of DAW software out there for pcs...and brand names aren't   
   everything, except mostly high prices.

   I HATE windows, and I've got version 10, the latest Crap from a long line of   
   Crap...I sure miss DOS and menu programs.

   Dishonest design! They'd NEVER do that with aircraft!

   Or they didn't want to notice.

   Yeah, you'd think they sell matching Trailers to go with them so you could   
   actually carry a few things besides yourselves!

   Yeah, we've got about 6" on the ground here - what a Bummer! Last year it   
   was so *relatively* nice, and I got used to it, so I'm a bit outraged to say   
   the  least, and these single digit lows and we're not even half way through   
   December, DAMN IT, I'M SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING - I   
   WANT TO START ACTUALLY ***FEELING*** IT!!!   
      
   > little cars are barely drivable in bad weather.   
      
   Cars with scooter size tires where they have this Horrible condition called   
   winter, shouldn't even be allowed to be sold in such regions. But then   
   when's the  last time you've seen a car made to be used where they have   
   these things called "driveways", that can actually easily clear the   
   unevenness of the pavement! Makes me think about a "low rider" only using it   
   intelligently as a "high rider" for going  over things!

   What a HELL of a 'choice' but at least it's the better one.

   There's probably something at least as good if not better.

   Just have to get used to them...but look a the bright side - getting used to   
   Not getting RIPPED OFF by crApple anymore!
