Like how it's not Hannelore's job to count every coffee bean in stock?

Well I meant other than that...
Although I have had some pretty good success in the past making quesadillas.

I can on my desktop (big old CRT monitor that I got for free and has kept ticking problem-free for four or five years since it was tossed in a dumpster), on CRT TVs, and with my radio/CD/Cassette player. Can't tell with my laptop, the fan drowns out anything that it might put off. I used to think I had some sort of hearing problem because of the near-constant quiet humming in my ears when I was either on or by the desktop all day.

It depends.
I can hear the flyback transformer (which is usually the source of the noise) on a non-flatpanel TV with ease. I've been told that means the flyback or one of the components just before it is somewhat out of tolerance but not enough to be bad. The 19" & 21" monitors I've owned were far quieter then the smaller ones.
If it has a fan of it's own I usually can't hear it, even after 2-3 days of being away from work and letting my ears rest. I've come to rely on those fans to dampen the evidence of humanity that I can't see.
Natasha:
I really want Hannelore to go vegetarian. She seems like the kind of person who would. Like she'd read an article about modern animal agriculture and go "OMG, hormones?? GROSS!!"
I think it would add a lot to the storyline. She should go to Taco Bell and order a 7-layer burrito (that's the veggie one).
