Seriously.... for the gamers out there... is there really that much of difference between 1680x1050 at 60fps and 1900X1200 at 60fps? Do you really have to purchase a new computer every 12-18 months to get the maximum resolution and fps out of the current hot game on the market? Are you sure you could not enjoy a game at a slightly less than bleeding edge resolution and fps? The most enjoyment I think I got out of game was back in the Apple IIe and Nintendo games. That was when plot and substance was more important than graphics.
Bingo. Games these days rely more on eye candy rather than original, deep stories like the games of the past did. I am still an avid DOS gamer for this very reason, the games are just better.

Ahh yes, crappy parents with too many kids want the state to raise their delinquent children...

It was actually 18" high in Spinal Tap ;)
This is why I stick with my old DOS games, which are still tons of fun. Thanks to DOSBox, any current system can play all the old games.
