At work, they insist that mic should be spelled "mike." I hate it. I don't know anybody who actually works with microphones who would spell it that way.

That's a great quote, even if I don't quite understand it. (I'm not familiar enough with these microphones.)

With luck you'll be using an M201 by the end of the year.

The library essentially needs a credit card statement confirming your address. They don't want students who are only in the area for a year to become members for the fear that when they depart they'll do so with a DVD or book of theirs. Naturally this is dumb as the time it took for my statement to come in the mail cut 1/3rd off the total time that I would be a physical member.

I ended up 'sweet-talking' the secretary into letting me get my membership without the letter, only to have it arrive at the end of the week.
