No Microsoft, I’m not going to use IE. Not even for $10,000. When your browser stops trying to “fix” every webpage accessed with it, send me a check for $10K, and we’ll talk. Even then, no promises.

I was working on a faulty computer today that just wouldn’t run the DVD drive for more than a few seconds before powering it down. After some trouble shooting, and a lot of swearing under my breath I determined the problem to be a faulty IDE cable. When I removed the offending cable and examined it closer, I discovered that, along with the usual vlotage and temperature ratings, the words “Space Shuttle – C” were also stamped on the bottom of it. Is it from space? Was it meant to go into space? Should I return it to NASA? If anyone knows what this cryptic tag means please fill me in – I’m dying to know.
