The Most Amazing Music System on the Planet

Yes it -is- out there and it is called Sonos.

I have owned my two zone Sonos system plus controller for just over one year so I figured it was time to tell the internet world about how this amazing music system has completely 180'd how I own, manage and listen to music.

"The IT Crowd"

One of the most brilliant shows to come out of the UK is The IT Crowd. Although there is a link on the Channel 4 site to view past episodes it is presumably blocked for those viewers outside the UK. However, all episodes (6 as of today) are available as Torrents.

On another note, supposedly Canada is the leader in illegal downloads.
