You have to really like soldering to do this.
Dear Timothy and everyone else,
I consider it a violoation of MIT X Consortium's copyrights and intellectual property to continually lable and presumably agree to the naming convention and usage of the X Box strictly as a utility of instrumentality with disregard to previous works that have been retained by MIT.
An "X Box" is a computing device that provides client or client and server resources within the X Window System. The Letter "X" was brought to you by MIT and it is a violation to use the letter "X" in any advertisement or naming convention of a computing device that does not involve the MIT X Consortium and its intelect.
This is just a notice. If this notice's requirement of cease and desist of practices, within 30 days, involving the terms "X" and "X Box" and "X Terminal" and "X Computing Devices" and "X Console" and not limited to the terms, we shall submit a notarized affidavit and a court order unto you in understanding that you must obey FRC and USC. Thankyou for your time and the clock is ticking. ;)
Sincerely,
Bob Johnson
Can anyone please explain what a modchip is
Modchips fix hardware-bugs in game consoles: e.g. inability to play backuped games or DVDs.
