Thanks to the vagaries of algorithms, a famous text on flies was briefly listed on Amazon for $23,698,655.93 (+$3.99 shipping).

Gotta love computers -- they don't do what you want, only what you tell them.

What's your latest twitchy software story? I've got a problem with USB drives not being recognized (I think it's a glitchy cable), and -- after several tries in the past -- my Win7x64 has finally recognized ASIO4ALL.

Nope, that's *definitely* a software issue. Might be a BIOS setting, but more likely there's something weird in an obscure Windoze setting somewhere.

Yeah, we went through the bios and couldn't find where that might go wrong. But it's a piecemeal sort of thing anyways, so I'm not entirely surprised. I had to get a new chip (the tiny one) because one of my ex roommates tried to update the bios and bricked the old chip. So it could be something the installers did wrong? Either way, it's mostly a minor inconvenience.

I have the 'won't shut off' problem when an external USB CD/DVD drive is powered on and not software removed from the system before the shutoff command. As a result, that drive stays unplugged/unpowered until needed.
