Show #61 was the last show to stream live in 2006, and wouldn't you know it: that damn CPU freezes up the computer as I tried to begin on time and I had to restart it, with the end result that the show did not really start until 5 AFTER the hour! Overall, the show had no survey (well, it was the end of 2006 and I did not think of a good one this time), no Skype calls (apparently too much Christmas partying?) and a couple of thoughts from me about what I got for Christmas 2006. Among the highlights are a fair amount of Instant Messages from listeners including Venison in New Jersey, Adrian in Edmonton, Alberta (he IS a dedicated listener), Chris in Australia and others who will remain nameless, news about Samsung unveiling a Gigabit-Density Mobile DRAM, Micosoft trying to patent RSS, and me being just me with the music I play.

This show timed out to a bit under 7200 Seconds, but with that CPU freezing my computer, is that at all surprising? Enjoy the show anyway!
