    "Inflexible" and "wonderful". Failing english should be unpossible for someone who's been speaking it as long as you have.

    I always thought that Slashdot needed a spell check, but who need a spell check nowadays, when there are so many useless people with so much time on their hands that they voluntarily correct your postings for you?

    Anwyay, while the US is pretty fanatical about the consoles, I think the Japanese are much more so. How many times have you heard about public launch parties that drew hundreds if not thousands?

    Slashdot Helpful Hint #681: When telling someone what you think it might be like in another country (oh, say... Japan), make sure that the person that you are replying to isn't, oh... say... named R. Suzuka and a student of Physics at the University of Tokyo.
