    How about a PC that can run Doom3 on maximum settings? Shouldn't cost more than a small Third World country.

    moderately related story:

    I spent Christmas with my girlfriend and her family a few years ago, and her older brother's gift to her younger brother was CDs full of pirated software. Probably a few thousand dollars worth. It was a seriously surreal moment, their mom made the usual noises, "oh, now isn't that a nice gift, be sure to say thank you", and the boy's face lit up with excitement as he read the titles that had been written on the CDs with a permanent marker.

    Generosity like that brings tears to my eyes...
