I bought this because it’s considered one of the great works of literature and has survived into common culture. Though I can see why this would have been popular at the time, especially thanks to the forward saying that the brief writing style was rare, I don’t yet see why this would appeal to today’s person. Perhaps it’s just me, but so far I find the writing style rather insulting.

Intel SSD 320 Series

An fast, moderate-sized and extraordinarily cheap drive.

Refurbished, but these seem to be in good shape. Don’t expect the intel manufacturer’s warranty to have much, if any, time left. You’re leaning on newegg, and then perhaps your credit card’s insurance policy, if it has one.

was pushtotalk.nu

Implements push-to-talk functionality directly on an audio input device.

It toggles the audio device’s mute. Used as a global push-to-talk when a program does not support such a feature, such as with a web browser that does not currently have focus.
