(Warning, if you follow those links and think to yourself “wow that’s more information about Mike then I ever wanted”, well you were warned..*L*)

Also, in an unrelated article, this looks interesting in that “trolling for attention” sort of way, but it may have some slivers of truth to it, so I’ll read it later…..

    Found another potential problem with the installation of Internet Explorer 6 SP1.
