Wrong. Pern was hit by a major disater [Thread] that the colony wasn't prepared to deal with. And they didn't become a bunch of total idiots like the Firefly plot. Firefly is a bad B movie that got cast as a TV serie. And if you've actually read the Pern novels you'll know that the decendants of the orginal colonist are in the process of recovering the tech that got them to Pern in the first place.

Sure we can. In fact most of Linux users are for the most part already doing so. Gaming on the PC is yesterday's news. Just look at how the PS2 market has exploded in the last year.
