Seriously trivial thoughts
Is it just me or is MaximumPC trying hard to hide its digital subscription? I never heard of it until I accidentally stumbled across the mention of it and dug around.

Between Firefox and Orb, I’m always monitoring and worrying about maxing out the 2GBs in my main system. I’m T I R E D of it and just ordered two 1GB sticks of RAM from Newegg.com for a whopping $11.99 each! Dang, RAM is cheap. I remember paying $1,200 for 32MB back in the day…yes …
