Hey - which brand of hard drive do you guys think sounds better? I have heard a lot of guys prefer the sound of the Seagates to the Western Digitals. I have heard that the Seagates have a more analog vibe, whereas the WDs are more digital and harsh sounding.

Thanks!

I'm always afraid when I watch horror movies that scenes will show up in my dreams.
I tend to reassure myself by saying "it's only a story" and "things like that didn't really happen", or "you didn't see that". :lol:

Must be my nerves; I seem to empathise way too deeply and readily with practically any story. :oops:

Robbie, I've a tradition that means I must change my avatar and sig quote on the 1st of each month, without repeating anything.
Been doing it since I joined the forum, so it's surely become something of a ritual.

Being graphically illiterate means that rather than concoct something interesting every month, I scour the web with a ridiculously slow connection in a comical attempt to find something I can use.
Somehow, around about the eleventh hour, I always manage to find something.

Sorry you miss the last one Robbie; I do too already.
Hopefully there'll be more fun to be had down the track though. :D

That's what I figured, Robbie, hence the long-winded explanation. :D

So... how 'bout them flying fish, eh? :?
OK, so I don't know what I'm talking about. :oops:

Hang on... I'm talking about flying fish, aren't I? :idea:
Yay! Monkey's not confused! :D

Hang on... that can't be right - Monkey's always confused. :?

I don't think he was singing to the monkey at all. But posting oblique references is not without its risks. :lol:
