I just went up the mountain and a booming voice spoke out and said "828mkIII."

"Sorry, wrong mountain" I replied.

I'm starting to worry that DP is too "clean cut" for me. I don't recall the last time I danced to a "score." :(

Still substantial-feeling though.
Well sure my simian friend, but the old G5's sported that water cooled radiator system from 68 mustangs, so no wonder they were so heavy. Ten gallons of anti-freeze and "big ol V8 hemi" those babies had. Heavy too. :wink:
Ok, off topic, but as a MOPAR guy I must inform you :)

You don't use the words Mustang (and Ford) in the same sentence as HEMI, its blasphemy I tell ya! :)

Ford tried to make a HEMI, they called it the Boss 429 but it was not the same.

HEMI is a trademark of Chrysler Corporation :D (I had to say that!)

I just soiled myself. I think it's a sign - quick, to the MOTU homepage.

Nope. Still the 828mk3.

Damn it. I soiled myself for nothing.

Hey, show me a more appropriate vehicle for lugging a week's worth of poomunition around with you.
Like me, purchasing it was a no-brainer. :D

Stupid double post.

Might as well use this opportunity to say hi, as I've had to get my mouse fixed and have been away.
Looks like the Mac will require a repair as the analog outs simply don't work at all, so any day soon I'll be out of commission for about a week.

Countdown Update:

* All those who predicted a release date in March 2008, you do not win the prize. As of 2nd April 2008, DP is still officially at v 5.13. Your runner up prize is a free version of Audacity. You can pick it up at the back of the room.


* All those who predicted a release date beyond 2nd April 2008, stay tuned. DP 6 is just around the corner, and you might be the lucky grand prize winner.


Okay, back to our regularly scheduled programming.
