    Why did they complicate buying a hard drive?

    I have started storing blurays on my system. 1TB fills ups pretty damned quick. I figure ok I can afford the $140 WD Caviar Green 3TB drive. Then I started reading about size limitations and such. Boy am I way behind the times. They added all this UEFI and GPT crap that mucks everything up...

    Forums still wonky?

    Does it take anyone else at least 30 seconds to a minute before the forums even begin to load? And when they do load some icons never load. Its been this way since since the hiccup a few days ago.
