I bought my last laptop from Best Buy. It wasn't for me, it was for my wife. She's perfectly happy with all the crapware that's installed. I shudder at it. The computer I purchased for myself came from a military base and was too (probably) loaded with junk. I wouldn't know. I had wiped it before I even had a chance to read the Vista license agreement. Now that said system dual boots Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Not a single bit of crapware in sight on either one.

Oh, as for my wife's system, the only thing I did when she wasn't looking was remove Norton and put in Microsoft Security Essentials. She hasn't noticed a thing.

I think I found what you're looking for.

If my lawn got mowed at ludicrous speed, I'd be a happy man. I just would want to watch so I could see the plaid streaks flying about my yard.

In Soviet Russia... battery charges you!

A nice midwestern locale, a place where eleven is the new ten, good rivalries, a great ground game, and overall good defense.

In short, the Big Ten.

Wait, we're not talking college football here?

I was going to say, "you're confusing it with Galaxy Quest," but then I clicked your link and it pretty much ruined my joke.
