I have a PS2 and 65" Toshiba, and I'm as much a game-geek as anyone, but unless you have muchos dinero sitting around, I wouldn't advise purchasing an HD set primarily for gaming. PS2 and gamecube only seem to have limited support in the hardware for 16:9 HD. And although, X-box has the hardware, very few of the games support it. Unless you're into progressive scan widescreen DVD and HDTV (check on availability in your area too), I'd suggest something like a Sony Wega CRT until the next generation of consoles come out.
Nothing's worse than when you get take-out or drive-thru and still have half a burger and fries but are all out of fine caffienated liquid to wash it down.
Come on, even 12 oz. is like 3-4 sips which isn't anywhere close enough. (although, admittedly my girlfriend could drink the same can of Diet Coke over the course of 3 meals;)
For what it's worth, IMHO Ada95 would be a good choice here. The best of all worlds really. Very strict, but with most the useful stuff from your other favorite language(s).
I agree that this is not going to replace the primary machine that any real geek uses. But there is a huge market for consoles because their is a huge section of the population that doesn't want compilers and text editors because it confuses them. They want to plug in a cartridge or pop in a cd, hit the on button, and start playing.

do you have pocket tunes deluxe?
With my old hardware, I only get about 10 frames per second when playing the game!
But what about A-Rod?

pretty sure he was joking there, JR. :)
Even better IMHO, give OpenWebmail a try. Easier to install than IMP/Horde and Squirrelmail really only works well if you're running IMAP.

Have you used Win2K? how do you find it crippled? I've found that it is a huge improvement over both 98 and NT.

uhm... yeah, but which one is going to cost less than 1/4 of the other??
