In a land where sorcerers come thick, like Gont or the Enlades, you may see a raincloud blundering slowly from side to side and place to place as one spell shunts it on to the next, till at last it is buffeted out over the sea where it can rain in peace. But Ogion let the rain fall where it would.

Sony's CDs, they only play on Windows, they only play with Sony's player, and they install hidden software on your computer without your approval. Oh, and said software seems to actually take a chunk of processing out of your computer continuously, regardless of whether the CD is in or not. Honestly, with the kinds of crap things I'm seeing and hearing from Sony lately, I'm very concerned about the next wave of video game systems, TVs, computers, and all the DRM nightmares that are just about to unfold. Wait and watch. I'd love to say it'll fall apart, but I'm more than betting it won't.
