This is fine if you actually use your home phone for calls, but since most of us actually only use our mobiles, the connection is otherwise redundant.

- Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

It looks like he’s got 4 or 5 machines and he’s playing in Dos. He even went to the extent of finding an office chair.
Hardware Workarounds for Software Problems
From CNN.com:
“Time-weary consumers who increasingly rely on laptops, PCs and other electronic devices to watch movies or listen to music are demanding immediate gratification. The tech industry is responding.
