are you aware of the music known as Jazz?
Howard: Are you aware of the music known as jazz? Are you aware of jazz music, the movement of jazz?
Vince: Why do you keep goin' on about jazz for?
Howard: Because it's the most important art form in the 20th century.
Vince: No one listens to jazz. Science teachers and the mentally ill, that's all jazz is for.
Howard: You better take that back, you electro ponce.
Vince: Or what?
Howard: You better just take it back, that's all.
Vince: I won't be taking that back, I'll be leaving it out there for all to see.

Vince: Shut your mouth.
Howard: Ahhhh... you fear jazz, don't you?

Taking a Stand Against IE6
As I’m sure you’re aware Internet Explorer 6 has been on the steady decline over the past few years thanks to the introduction of a slew of new browsers.
