Just buy a really nice one. My Acer79g cost me $370 for just 17inces, but man, it was *so* worth it:) (120mhz refresh at 1024x768:) "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
Well, I'm not bored with tetris, and nither are very many other people. Millions of people have monocrome gameboys, with 8-bit 10(?)MHz CPUs. they seem to be fun, If you can't have fun with simple games anymore, that's to bad. Many people can. Two player tetris on the Gameboy or a graphing calculator is very fun, and I would love to be able to do this over a CDMA network.

Why is it any more dangerous to have a portible gaming system that is capable of online wireless gaming then one that is not? I mean, somone could try to play GameBoy while driving, but they won't. beacuse almost all games require two hands.
Just beacuse people like to talk on the phone while driving dosn't mean that they are any more likely to play games on there cellphones then they would be on there game boys, or palm pilots "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
Well, you can already merge the cellphone and the pager, and soon the palm piolot as well... If you ask me, pagers are the most worthless hack
technology I'v ever seen, I mean, if you ignore the cost issue, theres no reason to page someone when you can just ring up there cellphone.
But, or course there *is* the cost issue, and people need to live with that, new CDMA cellphones in the US usualy have pager capabilitys, I don't know what there using in AU (GSM?), but I'd bet you could find one with a pager...
I heard about some company licensing the palm OS for a cell phone, that would rock, I think you can get a pager card for the palm as well "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
Although, I doubt if this type of technology will make it to the US... Maybe it will though.
I mean, For me, I probably have more fun playing video games "on the go" Then I do at home. A gameboy, or graphing calculator (ti8x are the best:) Can be so much fun to play, and now you could play not only multiplayer, but multiplayer with anyone in the world (provided they have the same phone, and service)
One thing I'd have to ask, however, is how much is this going to cost? I mean, Cell Phone calls arn't cheap, and I'd be willing to bet that the charges on this would at least be similar to the old charges of AOL, a couple bucks an hour, if not more.
Still good for a quick game of tetris though:) "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
