When I rang Dell the woman had to repeat herself asking for my Service Tag about four times before I understood what she was saying, despite the fact it should've been obvious to me that it would be one of the first things they'd ask for.
This must be part of Dell's award-winning customer service they're always talking about.   ;D

He announced he would leave about two or three years ago, but it was this month that he actually did it.
He's still chairman of the company. He's just not doing day to day stuff any more. Instead he's concentrating on charity work.

He's still chairman of the company. He's just not doing day to day stuff any more. Instead he's concentrating on charity work.
I did a bit of research on it after. I was totally unaware of his announcing it two years ago. :x
Apparently he is stepping down from the position of chairman, though?

There are some 6-character license plates in NY. My mother has one.

Yes, there are.  It's just that it can up to seven.

Even since Seinfeld I've been waiting to see a vanity plate that says "Assman."  Still haven't seen it, though.

I think "ASS" is banned.

Wikipedia says it's 6 for vanity and 7 for regular?

I think I've seen 7 letter vanity plates. But I'm not sure. Might have been from other states.

I totally want a license plate that says TEMPEST.  For obvious reasons.

I'd have R0 STI

Also a valid UK plate format (ours are really complicated).


Edit: Fuck, it isn't valid :(
