    are any of the cases @ this site any good?

    I've never had any of these cases, but Im a firm believer in "you get what you pay for". Buying a generic case with a cheap PS for 35 bucks will probably cause you more problems in the long run than spending the money for an S500 with a good PS. At least, that's how I look at it. I got...

    Anyone sad that Jerry Rice is no longer part of the 49ers?

    This situation makes me think of Thurman Thomas. Spent his entire career with the Bills only to end up with the Dolphins (argh! couldnt he have picked any other team?) and get hurt while being a non-factor for his team. Let's hope Rice doesnt end up the same.
