Is it "queue sound effects" or "cue sound effects"?

I always thought the latter, but of course the former makes sense for a comp.sci guy too.

Yeah, it's "cue". My little command-script for showing me M-W dictionary entries mislead me. But I did check, I swear.

Toshiba repair claimed they required 30 calendar days to repair my 30 GB Notebook Hard Drive. It has been over 45 business days and despite two email promises that the item HD will ship the "next day" I still haven't received it. Unprofessional, unreliable and very poor perfromance. I will never purchase another Toshiba product and will do all in power to convince others not to buy Toshiba.

Toshiba want to charge me £160 just to fix a backspace key that fell off a month after I bought the laptop.

Sounds like things have gone downhill there in the past three years.
