Hey girls (and Jason)

I just want to say that I LOVE YOUR SHOW! You three are really entertaining, and Gadgettes are the highlight of my Friday.

Also, remember Erica Fartbook, the lady who wrote in about the book series 'Walter the Farting Dog'? Now, the teen singer the Jonas Brothers will be in a movie based on the books! Okay, I am probably not the target demographic here, but THE FREAKING JONAS BOTHERS?! Come on! I know that there are three of them, one with the bushy eyebrows, one who looks like a Russian assassin and one who looks about 2 years old, but as far as I can see, the only talent that each of them possesses is to 'sing' through autotune to rubbishy but catchy beats and be able to make legions of teenage girls bow down at their feet. Acting talents? Nonexistent.

Anyway, I just want to say that I LOVE YOUR SHOW! (Did I already say that already?) and thank you for all the great work you do at CNET.

As far as the CAPS LOCK goes, I use the CAPS LOCK on a daily basis. I work in a Civil Engineering firm, any company that uses computers for their drafting or plan design, (100% I would have to think) also will use the CAPS LOCK key since the text on plans are all in CAPS. Without CAPS LOCK, my hand would ACHE from typing and holding shift all day long...
