Evox D6 Blue...noani...huh? OK I'm going with the Evox D6 Blue...now I see that I have my choice between standard and something called "noani". Best I can see the "noani" has something to do with a "flubber" animation on start-up. But what the heck exactly does that mean? Any advantage to using one over the other? Any advice is welcome.

People call the little green blobby animation at startup "flubber" because that is what it looks like.

Disney is rsponsible for Flubber! There was a old black and white movie in the 60's called The Nutty Professor, The professor invented Flubber. Then Disney made a remake a few years back with Robin Williams and Flubber took on the visual form that you see in the xbox boot up. Go here to get a look :) http://disney.go.com/disneyvideos/liveaction/flubber/index.html

OK, makes sense. And yes! I do recall the flubber from the Nutty Professor and also the the Robin Williams movie from like '96 or so. Vedy interesting, M$! But I guess I'm wondering now why bother with a flubber/no-flubber BIOS release in the first place? Is it just a cosmetic option for those annoyed by the green blob or is there a technically sound reason for choosing one over the over. I personnaly like the flubber, so I would probably use that one, unless it's not sound to do so.
