"It's amazing how "once bitten, twice shy" seems to be a forgotten proverb hereabouts. What are all the old-time high-powered developers doing, hanging around here? And why would any mere peasant whose loyalty was rewarded by being bitch-slapped…"
"Wheee! Today's BestBuy price for the gimballed Solo w. spare bat. & props is down to $379! Another hundred off of that and I'll pick up a a pair so as to have a beater with spare parts to back up the Mavic I'm buying.
