i thot it was cool, all those pastel colors, your eye can't focus. personally i
like my eyes crossed. is anyone still using a 28.8 anymore? i'd shoot myself if
i had a modem that slow. better yet i wouldn't use the internet.
Speaking of design, Kraft needs to work on their instructions for making Mac -n-
Cheese. 2 10 year olds read the directions and followed them from "Top Of Stove"
through to "No Drain Microwave." They had no IDEA that these were two separate
sets of instructions. So after cooking it fully on the stove, they put it in a
microwave-safe dish and nuked it, stirring every five minutes. Needless to say
it was "nasty," and they ate oatmeal instead. Only 1 direction for making it on
the box.
