I got this slip of paper from a friend of a friend a while back, but I'm slack so it took me a while. Apparently 'Big Lo' is his 'movie dealer.' One call—and I've obfuscated the number because it would be impolite to rat out someone else's dealer—and Big Lo will meet you at your local subway stop, portable DVD player in hand, and let you select, preview, and purchase eight movies for $20. It's piracy without all that troublesome working for it.

Also, apropos of nothing, John Dvorak should never talk about digital cameras again. (See: Last week's TWiT, "Bork bork bork.") Joel Johnson
