marketing is everywhere

This made my day. From the MSNBC blog:
Though it seems mostly as the result of marketing strategy, Stormhoek appears to have established itself as the geek wine.
"Mostly a result of marketing strategy"? Really? I wrote down some of my thoughts about this over on the Stormhoek blog.

A ham sandwhich is better than nothing.
Therefore, a ham sandwhich is better than eternal happiness.
(replace "ham sandwhich" with "gapingvoid" for some major brown-nosing.)

God is Marketing.

Posted by: vaspers the grate at the gates of timelessness at July 23, 2006 1:37 AMHi all, I need help. Our family computer is running like a slug. It takes forever to startup and open programs and the hard drive activity light is always on. It also uses up a lot of RAM for some reason but the CPU usage is normal. I have another hard drive that is in a removable tray that I use, and that has all the same settings and everything, but that one is using a fraction of the RAM and runs pretty good! Please help! ?
