    Hello, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, wonderful blog!

    3RVX does not get the job done. In windows you have to click the Volume Button 50 times for it to go from 0-100. In Mac You only have 10, which is way better, who the hell wants to click the freakin button 50 times?
