A few questions to start things off. Do you live in America? Do you have a Social Security Number? Did you buy a cassette, LP, or CD between 1st January 1995, and 22nd December 2000 in America? Yes? Fancy joining a class-action lawsuit against the RIAA for price-fixing? It's not going to be a huge amount of compensation (the site suggests that it'll be somewhere in the range of $5-$20), but you could use the money to stock up on CD-Rs...

Yes, Safari is fast. But it doesn't render HTML as correctly as Mozilla, and it doesn't have tabs. So I'm sticking with Chimera for the moment.

Ooooh. Shiny.

Um, where was I? Er, yes, going to bed now.
