Re: Kirk Hammett has bought PG/Gary Moore "Greeny" LP

I saw Metallica on 11/07 in Warsaw, I have noticed Kirk played goldtop Les Paul without EMG pickups, now it makes sense. Interesting that it was first time I saw Metallica live and I wonder why I focused on such minor thing ... damn brain ...

Re: car repairs and cost of parts

I got ~8 years old Toyota Yaris, quite popular car here in Europe and good for city, it's really dependable but when something breaks down it will probably cost a lot, I remember when rear's wiper engine went down - original was around 160$ !

Re: Windows XP loses MS support tomorrow

Honestly I wouldn't be really afraid about loss of support, get yourself antivirus soft and you'll be ok. As for other systems, from more than 2yrs I'm using Win 7 at home and it's most stable system I've ever had - I don't turn off my laptop, I just close the screen and it hibernates, I restart it ...

He is located in Poland, and AFAIK does customer spec chassis runs

He does for someone in (AFAIR) Greece
