Games on Demand
Laurens Simonis writes "Yesterday, the Dutch ISP Planet Internet introduced a games subscription service. For a small monthly fee, about $10, you get unlimited access to a growing list of (sort-of) current games which you can legally download from them. Currently, you can pick from 20 titles including Tomb Raider Chronicles, Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare and Commandos 2. New ones are added monthly. To my knowledge, this is the first time an ISP offers this kind of service. Personally, I'm all for the idea. Could this be the future? Half-Life developer Valve Software seems to think so." This looks really cool, but I'm curious as to how well it will catch on. It feels about 5 years too early to me, but here's hoping it performs well.

Now this news shows me how much I should appraciate my 56k.
Dreamt I was an eskimo.. du duu duu boo bo. Wearing my boot around my toe. Stepping the ground below. It was a hundred degrees below zero. And my babe cried. Don't be an eskimo. Say your money don't go to the show. Well I turned around and I said wou ho! And the northern lights they shone. Bo Boo woo hoo! Right about that time people, a deathtrap who was strictly a commercial. Strictly commercial. Yellow yellow taxi behind my igloo. A man standing behind me with his snow shoes. Pick a boo, pick a boo! Let me rain with your snow shoes! He was the meanest eskimo any eskimo boy can be. The deadly yellow snow right from that husky flow... People from this area. The circular moment. It's a rabbit! It's a rabbit! Temporarily! Well a death trap stood there trying to figure out what to do with his itching eyes! If anything bad anything ever happens it's a tundra that's shouting! Temporarily! Temporarily! It was that precise moment when I remembered that ancient eskimo lore. If anyones name is Nanok the only way we can escape is to shoot a capsule out to the skies!
You *work* for Bell? That must be worse then getting a headache.
