Dear God, you made many, many poor people. I realize there's no shame in being poor...but it's no great honor either. So what would have been so terrible if I had a small fortune? - Tevye
"If I were a Rich Man"... Err uh woman; I know the exact computer that I would buy! I’m all about graphics and photography and I enjoy dabbling in some web design from time to time, so my choice for the best graphics computer money could buy, with everything I would need or want would be an Alien ALX® X58.
