A few people have asked why netapplet is a notification area [...]
Seriously, though, I just threw away nine phone books. One of them said “Bell Atlantic is now Verizon”.
It’s probably worth pointing out that we haven’t had a phone line in over two years.
Kick ass. Synchronized swimming is on. Something to look forward to after a disappointing finish for the [...]
