Two Things

1) Oreo Cakesters may be the best desert invention ever.

2) Avery (the company that makes all sorts of printable labels) offers a free Microsoft Word wizard for producing labels if you buy one of their packs of labels. This file is 26 megabytes. Why? Does anyone remember the days of 3.5" floppies? Well, a modern label generation script for Word would take up like nineteen of them. If I recall correctly, even Windows 95 didn't even span that much. Bloatware? Sometimes I think software companies take the ubiquitousness of broadband connections as an unspoken approval that lazy programming is okay.
