    Correct pronunciation of "Asus"

    "A" - Zoose ...rhymes with MonGoose Off topic Abit (excuse me, a bit :eekers: ) I recall when Asus first went into business back in the early-to-mid '90s, selling slightly cheesy Sun clones. The X86 business came along Abit (...there I go again, a bit) later after they rather quickly...

    Sony CD-R Technology

    Actually, this "old" NEW news. Sony and friends made their intentions with Blu-Ray technology over 2 years ago, but actually have talked about blue laser products since the early 1990s. There actually is *fast* tape around. Of course, you and I would never consider buying these fast...

    An Hilarious Waste Of Money

    Well, what I'm waiting for is the body piercing / tattooing trend to meet the "frivolous automotive lighting trend." This would be where you observe someone in some crowded disco -- talking, and as he talks, blue light is emanating from his mouth via lighting devices that are implanted in his...

    Firewire Card with DV software

    A USB-2 + Firewire combo card is an excellent way to go, though you won't (likely) use the USB-2 port for video purposes. Some of these "deluxe" USB-2 + Firewire cards come with a "free" basic DV editing software package that will allow you to produce a basic video production. You should check...

    SP 3 vs. SP 2? Slower hard drive speeds?

    OK, I think i'm following the logic here correctly... Was Mrs. Italy's husband Service Pack 3, and did SP-2 wear underwear?

    I may very well run into someone this weekend who is, I believe, a bit of a Radio Birdman expert that works at a local record store. No, he's not an Australian, even though I seem to know quite a few by chance -- both here and in Oz -- but someone that I recall seeing wearing a black and...

    How Did You Stumble Across The [S]torage [R]eview Website ?

    I was actually out looking for the website for Storage Review Magazine -- a stuffy no-fun periodical for storage professionals -- when I stumbled across what was (then) the testbed for the Storage Review website. This was late April of 1998. As I found out in the discussion forum from a...

    That's what I said (I thought). Yes, the Stooges released their albums in 1969, 1970, and 1973. The later two ("Funhouse" and "Raw Power") were the best in my opinion, though I've met a few people who though their first was their best (?!?). Radio Birdman came along after the Stooges.

    Well, you're stirring up some slightly ancient memories. I'll probably have to pickup the "Radios Appear" CD this weekend to refresh me noggin' with what all's on that album. I do hear the occasional track from that album on the local radio (KTRU-FM or KPFT-FM). I've somewhat recently been...

    The Who bass player dead

    I could see Paul Weller, maybe -- since his old band The Jam were more or less The Who knockoffs to a certain extent -- but I see no worth in Mr. Oasis and the god-awful Bryan Adams doing something onstage with The Who. ...unless The Who were trying to "Sell Out" (OK, puns aside now).

    Being the ever-growing brain that rules from the centre of the ultraworld (OK, I stole that line from The Orb's first EP), absorbing all sorts of musical knowledge and pablum along this journey called life, I recall the term "radio birdman" off of an old Stooges album called Funhouse. I forget...

    I've never own a Radio Birdman album, but I have heard cuts from the "Radios Appear" album many a time on a couple of local radio stations for years. And, just to show that it's a small world, I've actually met Radio Birdman's (and The Saints') sound engineer -- a chap named Andy Bradley...

    No, "Wet Dream" is Richard Wright's (P.F. keyboards) album. It's typically available in the USA for a measly US$8.99 or $9.99 (on CBS / Sony). I had forgotten -- when I posted -- that I actually saw him once in 1990 or 1991 at a drum clinic. Yep, he was still a strong drummer (weightlifter...
