Well it's Monday here downunder and a very nice one indeed, but last night was cold. Went to Church Sunday AM with our minister who's 2 cans short of a six-pack. Best part is we have heaps of public holidays around this time.

Look at it this way If nVidia were developing software, would they not start to complain about pira ...
