Oh the memories. I remember I couldnt afford a computer a few years ago, so I used a pirated ISO of XP and decided to put it on my old Dell Optiplex Pentium Pro, 100 MHZ, 128 MB of RAM, 4GB SCSI Hard Drive. The install took about three and a half hours, but the boot time took roughly 5 minutes or so if I remember right. It could perform basic functions, but more than one application and you could count on no activity for a long time. Surprisingly the machine never locked up and continued working. Im surprised the machine itself didnt just take a shit and die, I remember leaving it on one night and I could hear the hard drive working ALL NIGHT, I wonder how big the page file was on that thing..
I wonder what would happen if there is some lag from the camera to the display screen when they are operating. The picture freezes, the surgeon says "WTF" and wobbles the remote control and presses all the buttons. Seconds later the jugular vein is ripped to shreds and the patient dies.
Surgeon to mal practice insurance agent: OMG, IT WAS LAG I SWEAR, I AM XPERT THESE FUCKIN SNAKES LAG, PLZ LET ME TRY AGAIN I PROMIZE IM GUD AT DIS!!!1!!11
Interviewer: Mr. Gates, what is your plan of action regarding the Iraqi war?
Bill Gates: My solution is easy, we all know Steve Jobs supports terror, ALL APPLE COMPUTERS ARE HEREBY ABOLISHED IN THE UNITED STATES.
For the grandparents, try suggesting "The Depression: Revisited" It will be an MMORPG based on the hardships of 30's living. You will get to experience the thrills, and the excitement of living in this time. You can choose to live in a Hooverville, even better, work someones field for them at a nickle an hour, and maybe you will be able to buy a few pieces of bread to keep your character alive. Feel the excitement of jumping onto a train! If you miss, well your fault. Blood and gore of bodies cut in half by the trains. Go to work in a factory! You can start producing weapons to bring back those good time memories of the beginning of World War II.

Why make billions when we could make... millions?

An FPS, rofl. Does this take place in the deep north, where they have to fight off polar bears on their walks to school?
