After spending nearly 30 minutes desperately searching the computer for
the CD, I had one store clerk finally go into the back office of the
store, open the damn thing and read the liner notes, then come back out
and then excitedly explain to me in full all about the droplift project
and its supposed purpose before finally giving me my CD back for free.
Unfortunately, I didn't get any video of that one.
