It sure beats trawling the Registry.

Related to the sig:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YIsTRMLssk

    Verbrilli Sound "Mating Song of the Big Headed North American Bar Swine"

A nice little groove (I first heard it on SomaFM's "Groove Salad").

-- 
	The FIELD GUIDE to NORTH AMERICAN MALES
SPECIES:	Cranial Males
SUBSPECIES:	The Hacker (homo computatis)
Plumage:
	All clothes have a slightly crumpled look as though they came off the
	top of the laundry basket.  Style varies with status.  Hacker managers
	wear gray polyester slacks, pink or pastel shirts with wide collars,
	and paisley ties; staff wears cinched-up baggy corduroy pants, white
	or blue shirts with button-down collars, and penholder in pocket.
	Both managers and staff wear running shoes to work, and a black
	plastic digital watch with calculator.
