You went out of your way to make your post less readable? WTF?

Were you wearing shoes when you smashed your toe?
Nope, barefoot.
That would be the Raptor X.I found an odd hard drive in the 2nd system. It is an old WD raptor of some sort with a clear window. Weird.
Bummer. What a pain. Fortunately the set was not a gift if I understand correctly.
Will the Olympians ever end.
The appeal is that unlike a lot of the lame shows/movies we see nowadays, you can't predict the outcome ten minutes into the show. It's that element of unpredictably, with the occasionally dark horse nobody thought stood a chance winning it all, which makes sports more appealing then most programs. Granted, I lean more towards individual rather than team sports. Some of the team sports these days have such huge payrolls that it skews the randomness factor which makes them appealing to begin with. As much as I might like it if the Yankees or Mets win the World Series, I don't want it to happen every October. That's just plain boringly predictable.Granted that I don't understand the appeal of sports to begin with, but the olympics strike me as particularly inconsistent.
I don't understand why anyone cares about the olympics to begin with. There are a whole bunch of sports no one cares about at any point during the four years leading up to the games, and then there are the games, where people are supposed to care, and then we go right back to not giving a crap for another four years.

I hope when NBC's contract expires someone else gets the rights to cover the Olympics. I'd be very happy if it was a non-profit PBS network.
:erm: PBS would instead intermingle the Olympics with their pledging drives and then show it letterboxes and pillarboxed on a heavily degraded HD feed that shares ~19Mbit/sec with their half dozen other subchannels. No thanks.I'd be very happy if it was a non-profit PBS network.
