	Hi, all of a sudden, as always, the number keys 1 through 0 except 5 and 6 fail on a thinkpad 2656 E2G. The shift-function also fails. Is this a common issue?

	I just got in on a great deal on 2 Biostar Motherboards: [link] using the coupon code, I was able to get 2 for $30 shipped.

Do we really need optical drives any more?

I was thinking about my 16GB USB flash drive today, and thinking about how it holds almost 4 times what a DVD +R disk holds. Then I thought about how it can be erased and rewritten any number of times, and how it didn't require me to buy a separate drive to use it.
