    This may be off topic..

    but ever since I saw "Meatballs", "Porkies" and the rest of the teen-camp-skinflick genre played on late night TV during the 80s, DS are two initials that should not be used for any product.

    Yes, I know about "DSL" (ADSL, SDSL etc).. which may be one reason I opted for a T1.

    Call me immature, but there are links that were forged in my mind.

    We live in a world in which 30,000 people die of starvation every day. War is rampant, oil dictates world policy and a $150 piece of entertainment is considered newsworthy. It's not too late to turn your life over to God and Jesus Christ. Only then will you know true happiness as you help the poor and hungry as a missionary.

    God be with you, praise Jesus.

    I am extremely out of touch with reality and trends so I just don't know. Is there really that much demand/profit in this area?

    You don't ride trains. I'm not sure if they would be allowed on airplanes... but there are places where it is inappropriate to "holla".

    An xbox, software modded, running about a dozen emulators. There's something very rewarding about playing Asteroids or Burger Time with a groovy modern controller.
