Bell TV == FAIL!
I missed the Habs game last night, as I was up on the roof for three hours trying to strap down the dish that got blown out of place in the strong winds of Wednesday night. I don’t think I would have been nearly anywhere near as I mad had I not seen this: The…

This All New GREEN iMac is 100% Recyclable
