    That's one of the finest and most entertaining "post mortem's" (it didn't die, though so what's that called?) I've ever read. There's something in it for everyone who enjoys progra…

    $87.00/mo or $2045.00 one time payment. That's really nice although as people said it is a little low on the top speed if you need to take it on any faster roadways / highways. For…

    I've agreed with everything you said not only in this comment I'm replying to but also your original top level one -- it's just that it spurred the thought in my mind to ask the qu…

    I think I'm about to say something that might be met with displeasure but I feel like it's a question I'd like to toss around anyways: Is there really anything that bad about this …

    Ah man. That's wild. Mind me asking how old you were when your brother was getting that treatment and you rebelled? Or at least how big of an age gap there was between you? My brot…
