"If you put Bobmo into Mystery Google, the first hit says "I can't open my flash drive". - Immy Truants. Institubes just tweeted about a major situation. Apparently Bobmo's laptop was buried in fake snow while he was DJing, and his hard drive is not to return again. I immediately felt his pain - I always freak out whenever something liquid or ashy comes near my laptop or UC-33, exactly for this same reason. It also made me think about laptop DJing in general... Read my opinion on laptop DJ'ing here: http://saintsdontcry.blogspot.com/2009/11/we-might-be-truants-but-we-dont-cheat.html
