How about Lotus Notes?

Wish I had mod points. That was.... faaaabulous!

Like many here, I was instantly hooked on the WOT books when they first came out.

Books 5 through 9 each increasingly bogged down and lacked the 'magic' of the preceding volumes. I was so disappointed with CoT that I didn't buy KoD when if first came out but waited a year and borrowed it from the library.

KoD was a return to form, and I was pleased to see that tGS kept the momentum.

I would have liked to see Galad and Loial make appearances, and all the Egwene punishment chapters were starting to intrude into Goodkind territory.

My biggest complaint is that Rand's emotional rollercoaster and subsequent epiphany was unconvincing and unneccessary Book after book after book pounded into our heads that Rand avoids violence against women at all costs. Suddenly he snaps and remorselessly kills women? It rang false to me. And, all he had to do to snap himself out of taint-induced paranoia was channel massive amounts of saidin standing on the top of the Dragonmount, while destroying the largest weapon available to male channelers?

If you don't know who your co-workers are complaining about, they're probably complaining about you.

You could at least dress in something other than a polo shirt that predates the dot-com craze and is several sizes too small.

Chewing your food with your mouth closed also helps. As does bathing and shaving daily, and getting a haircut every 6 weeks.

The monitor cannot hear you, and is NOT going to be party to your conversations. Neither will it ever offer debugging tips.

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, cares to have a conversation of any duration about intellectual property, copyright law, and the RIAA/MPAA.

Oh, we also don't want to hear about your vintage IBM Model M keyboard with bucking spring action. We already are acutely aware of how clicky the damn keys are.

You aren't really weird, you are just playing at it. Grow up.

Wow, I haven't heard that name in 20 years.

The place I remember is in northern Idaho, outside of Moscow.

If you ever want a real bad case of the drizzling shits, eat a bowl of their chili...
