Up close - determined grunts and strained sinews with oars in grip, dig vigorously into the water. The majestic head of the dragon fronts this contraption but the real heart lies just behind it, at the apex of the bow. Like a conductor of an orchestra, the drummer leads his crew with the calculated beat of his drum. Such is the realm of dragon boating.

hasn't Vista SP2 been around for a long long time already?
A forum post should be like a skirt. Long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting.

Does 'clone' sound a ring before you patch? there! You can experiment without worry

hmm...can be more specific with the word 'clone'?? was searching google but could only find a software called virtual clonedrive which works similarly as daemon tools/alcohol 120% and how it is not able to work with sp2..
