A moment of silence...
I'm afraid that things have come to a head between my dad and I. I must have pushed him too far on the sushi scenarios (you'll never get me to admit I don't like it Dad). I think he's finally snapped, and in an effort to get back at me, he sent this email this morning

I've got two machines on my desk and both have DVD-R drives. You're just *so* behind the times Dan.

My dad put you up to that? He's consorting with Canadians now...

NA, NA NA, NA, BOO BOO!! I'VE GOT ONE AND YOU DON'T.

And anyone that eats pukie, I mean sushi, needs to be consorted against.

Well Derren may desert you then. He likes sushi EVEN MORE THAN ME!!!! There goes your CADAD (Canadians And Dad against Dan) campaign... bwAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Very nice machine! Be careful what you wish for, though. Case in point? Guy Shoots Dell. :-)

lol... poor laptop...

Ouch Josh... See Dan, you'll *never* hear about anyone shooting their iBook or PowerBook. There's just too much love for all things Mac. As for the DVD-R (AKA: a SuperDrive), my first machine to have one was bought in January of 2001. Ah, Apple... always leading the market. PS: Sorry Dad, while I'd love to totally take your side against Dan he's right on the sushi issue. I eat copious amounts of it at least twice a week, usually more, and could really eat it daily. You can even click my name above this comment for a 10 Mb movie I made on the subject. :)

It sounds like you Dad has some knowledge about what he likes. I call him for help and most the time it is I don't know, Your program is not the same year as mine! Do you still have red hair and how is it to get up in the morning and look at it? You and Kris are special and PawPaw and I love you
