    - one problem I had is that ZoneAlarm didn't play friendly with it, but I've since ditched that. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 10:53

  - I'd like to go one board without a typo at this point. -- nm - Mop Dec 8, 10:50

    - i'm with david, i think it's bound to happen eventually. especially now with the top teams being weaker....nm - x, riding a unicorn of happiness over a rainbow Dec 8, 11:02

  - Is it a Double Bagger? -- (link) - JaxSean Dec 8, 10:46
- depends--does she want one? -- nm - kare Dec 8, 10:42 17
