The Blackbird may be portable, but attaching it to the windshield cradle and later removing it is an arduous process that just about sprained both my wrists. At least the cradle keeps the Blackbird firmly in place as you drive. (articles.directorym.com....01125.html)

As for the ATI-SLI motherboard scheme, sure, I'm guessing most gamers would have preferred to see better cards in the Blackbird or SLI. But it was pretty damn cool to see that CrossFire motherboard combination - and have it work with no issues whatsoever. (www.tomshardware.com....ird-review)
For those that don't want to mod, the blackbird case is a viable and very neat alternative. But that just takes away the fun of doing it all yourself and building something original. Custom builders out there know what I mean. (www.tomshardware.com....ird-review)
"Instead of a mass of twisted cables and clunky hardware thrown together, the Blackbird has an impeccable user-friendly design that is unrivaled" Nuh uh. Mac desktops are the same inside as this. 'idiot-proof' comes to mind. (www.tomshardware.com....ird-review)
The reason that the Blackbird doesn't have the quad-core 45mm AND SLI is because no such motherboard exists right now that supports that combination. (www.tomshardware.com....ird-review)
A blackbird was singing, and I remembered theopening lines of a childish letter that I had written in 1940 to my father who was at warin France . It went thus; Dear Dad, today I saw a Messerschmitt and a blackbird on atree . (home.st.net.au....ckbird.htm)
We love features like dual gigabit Ethernet ports, a high-speed eSATA connector, and a slot-loading DVD burner.

(www.napawineco.....kbird.html)
Blackbird continues to provide fruit to such winemakers as Bob Foley and Romel Rivera (Pride Mountain Vineyards and Robert Foley Vineyards) and others. This speaks volumes about Blackbird 's terroir and serves as a meaningful validation of the quality of the fruit. (www.napawineco.....kbird.html)
As artisans, the Blackbird team's goal is to create beautifully handcrafted wines that embody the best of what the Oak Knoll terroir has to offer.

The SR-71 Blackbird is one of the most spectacular aircraft ever built. It is a long-range, supersonic reconnaissanceaircraft capable of flying at Mach 3.2. When it first flew, it was an amazing performer and still is after three decadesof unmatched capabilities. (www.sr-71.org....ird/sr-71/)
The Rider Acoustic from Blackbird Guitars uses carbon fiber instead of wood to create a lightweight guitar that they claim sounds as good as a traditional, full-sized acoustic.
