    MicroSoft XBox: $169.00
    Mod Chip: $30.00
    CD to burn the latest distro to: $0.20

    Using the above system to call MicroSoft Tech Support via VoIP to complain about how bad KDE looks on a 20" black-and-white TV: PRICELESS.

    Me: If you don't like Microsoft, why buy their game system.
    You: They lose money on all of their systems.
    Me: Even if they lose money that doesn't mean that they sell them for below variable cost. You are just helping recover fixed cost.
    You: I don't understand your fancy moon language!
    Me: Why not get a Lindows computer?
    You: The X-Box has better hardware!
    Me: It has like 48 megs of ram.
    You: It has a nice graphics card!
    Me: Fine, it has a nice graphics card.
