Steve: Jeans, some free t-shirt, and sandals.
Aaron: Laid back Cali style.

PC or Mac (or Linux/etc.)? Why?

Given the choice, would you rather stake your life on your ability to quickly solve a complex mathematical equation, or attempt to fight/escape from a large grizzly bear? Why?

Do you use Napster (or any of its variants)? How often? For what? If not, why not?

Steve: Yes, often, to find rare mixes or live bootleg material.

You are able to get away with murder once, and only once. Who, if anyone, do you kill?

Steve: Milosevich.
Aaron: Steve.

Paper or plastic? Why?

Steve: I bring my own sack.

Aaron Carter. Steve Barry. Together, they're Cirrus, responsible for such electronic favorites as "Back on a Mission" and "Drop the Break". They may also fight crime. We can't be entirely sure.
