I dunno, **Ethilrist** , that seems a bit excessive. Instead, I would recommend **Poly** simply get some of the new [Google Gulp](http://www.google.com/googlegulp/). It speeds up _everything_.

Uh-oh! :eek:

**Supervenusfreak** : Has he developed a sudden taste for Norman Rockwell paintings? Does he comment favorably on the aesthetics of hex signs? Has he mentioned “going somewhere to get away from it all” recently?

I fear an attack of a meme! :eek:
