Paganini also spent some time in the slammer. All he had to do was practise violin, so when he got out, he was super good. People thought he had had dealings with the devil in order to play better.
He also was missing some teeth, which added to his wierd appearance.
And God said, 'Let there be rock!'
-And it was good

Don't you mean ROBERT Johnson?

Rob Johnson is a shredder, Robert Johnson plays blues :P

Very interesting stuff I might add, he does those strange Impellitteri/Michael Angelo-Batio style broken up arpeggios, string skipping, skipping from positions all over the fretboard, but he does it on a 7 string.

I must have missed it.

I'm on a 22 inch monitor, 1600x1200 resolution, and this new desktop environment i'm using (http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net) doesn't quite seem to work too well with X. Everything is super super tiny :)

Well, three monitors actually :P

Bragging isn't the right word, I'm just proud of my computer setup.

But I am partially complaining, there isn't too good support out there for big monitors and high resolution. Font sizes are a problem if you're using linux, and a slightly old desktop environment.
