See, this is where our approach to posting differs. I aim to write in an interesting, dare I say, entertaining manner. You, on the other hand, cough up pedestrian gems like the above.

You see, sometimes the later account of an event springs more to life when the various sights, sounds, and smells of burning Jaz drive diodes are added to help color the story, and give it a more stirring flow.

However, the story I described is indeed absolutely true. If you are ever in New York, you may understand why I included the mention of his Polish accent. This city is filled with hundreds of different accents from around the world, each of which offer new, disparate ways of butchering the English language. However, it is this very diversity that gives New York it's life and brings new ideas into the fold.

The Jaz drive's problems are real, based on the hundreds of accounts easily found on the web, and from personal testimonials I've encountered.

IOM's strength is failing fast. It is starting a pattern of closing 1/2 point down every day. It's great to be short this baby.
