AJ Quick has a spectacular aura aboutAJ Quick has a spectacular aura about
Microsoft Timeout
Anyone else notice the constant Windows beeps and tones happening occasionally at the competitions in the webcasts?

At the NASA/VCU regional they had to stop and call a "Microsoft Timeout". How bad have errors in Windows been to delay matches?

Place your attention entirely on my voice and try to ignore all the others. It is important to be able to focus on a single source of information while blocking out all the other things competing for your attention.

That got me laughing. They must be like 20 mins behind at VCU because of all the "Time Outs" they had to call

they had a bunch of problems with the scoring system today in Manchvegas...and during the recycled percussion performance, the Apple screensaver kept on coming on.

Some one started a chant at VCU that said "Run Linux."

I added they should run OS2/ Warp.

We had Mircosoft "Ping"s constantly at BAE. The sound guys really need to learn how to turn off error sounds on the scoring computers.
