Suns over Sonics 106-99
The 3-point hail-mary that swished at the 1/2 time buzzer was a perfect indication of how the Sonics played 3 amazing quarters. They just ran out of steam in the 4th.
Sitting in row 14 rocks.

Joel on Vista: "no redeeming merits to overcome the compatibility headaches..."

More PIXELS (== More POWER)
OK, I'll admit I, said it, but the rest of the sentence was: '...instead of 2 x 23" LCD displays (turned on their sides) - which seems to be the standard here in engineering.'
