A strange "blip" is coming through my speakers once every couple minutes (starting yesterday).

As much as a pain that it has been in the past, it has actually gotten better with Norton 2005.

My system has been virtually flushed. I'm outraged and plan on rioting and burning the MS Windows flag in front of Microsoft World HQs.

Jimi Hendrix voodoochile full blast 24/7...

Ah yes, the long version (on Side 1 of Electric Ladyland). Steve Winwood jams some serious blues organ with Jimi on that tune.

The much shorter and denser "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" on Side 4 of the same album is also amazing.
