    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Having grown up in the Nashville area and my parents being big C&W fans, we went to quite a few tapings of Hee Haw and the Grand Ole Opry in the 80's and early 90's.

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Having lived the majority of my life in TN, AL, MS, as well as NC,TX, and FL (but I had no pool there). In the middle of summer the water in the pools would be 90+ degrees and felt like bath water, it was not enjoyable.

    Wow, I don't know if I could get rid of my XMC-1 like that! Maybe once there is an Ultimate Syn (with XLR) for us that run 3 mono Vidar on their LCR...

    I learned AutoCAD R10 in school many many moons ago. I ended up buying the student version of R11 and used that for a LONG time.

    I'd laugh if Jason got them to change the post counts for each page from 15 to 40 :)

    Hehe, I have a few friends that are really deep into Bourbons, so I get to try all the good expensive ones. We've toured the distilleries in KY, done the taste samplings etc... I'd still rather just have a good ole Guinness.

    Hehe, sometimes you have to get their friends involved. Peer pressure (the good kind) made me try a number of different foods I wouldn't have tried otherwise when I was growing up. I've worked with "kids" (at least to me, twenty somethings that only ate basic "kid" food) that would never eat...

    Yup, I still have an open mind about them and will try new ones that I haven't had before in the hopes I find something that I like, but short of a couple flavoured whiskeys (which I don't really consider whiskey, because it's cheating) I haven't found any that I'd try more than the once or...

    Yeah, I've tried a LOT. I've had numerous different types of Scotch as well as Bourbons, Whisk(e)y's etc... over the years, and I don't really like any of them. :o From expensive stuff like 21 year McCallan and Pappy Van Winkle etc... to not so expensive stuff, I just never have acquired a...

    Hehehe, my old boss use to LOVE Dewars, he could afford much better Scotch, but kept drinking that stuff.

    Hehe, I wish that was the case with wine and beer! Those, I have acquired a taste for and really enjoy. But I rarely drink it so it doesn't really cost me anything. I bought a case of wine about 8 years ago and I've still got a few bottles left even after giving some away and drinking a few...

    I've had good cigars and great scotch and IMO they are just as bad as the bad ones hehe. I've never really been able to acquire the taste for them, which I guess is a good thing because it has kept me from spending $$$ on them.

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    It has been many years since I've had an Apple product (coincidentally right around 15 years), I really liked their hardware and the simplicity of their ecosystem, but I did not like being tied to iTunes to handle all of my media. On the PC side, I recently built a new HTPC because I wanted...
