I was just thinking today…isn’t kind of odd that we take a dead, dried up piece of wood, wrap it in eletrical wiring, and then stick it a bucket of water in the middle of our houses?

Makes me want to uninstall Flash so I can get the real text back.

It’s still a little slow, but that’s probably just because my system is a touch older. On the whole it’s much better and doesn’t render in green. I think it looks just as good, but then again I’m not so picky on presentation.
