    What's your next computer upgrade?

    Um - Hitachi drives have been the most reliable drives i've ever used...faster and more formatted capacity than other branded drives. I've always used them and never had any problems.

    Your opinion on graffiti: Please read =)

    I equate it to nothing more than sheer vandalism for no palpable reason. After living in London for almost all my life, Graffiti makes the city look that much more run down, depressing, delapidated and crumbling. It's everywhere. You cant escape it. It's been around far longer than hip-hop has.
