I think prisons could hook up the electric chair to firewire, and use a Mac to automate all the actions...hehe.
Hey, at least I kept it clean!

I have an external 30GB FireWire hard drive.

And if that doesn't fit the bill, then I've also got a FireWire-powered space-shuttle-launcher/espresso machine.

Best Thing In The World

Digital8 With My Sony HandyCam...

1) Copy Simpson's from Digital TV
2) Use iMovie 2 to remove all of the commercials
3) Use Toast 5 to create a VCD

Bingo... Bango... Bongo... A wonderful collection of shows for your viewing at $.15 each

Does this mean you're selling these VCD's? Cause 261 episodes x $.15 = $39.15. I'll give you an even 40...
blackmail is such an ugly word. I prefer extortion. the X makes it sound cool
