I work for Accenture Technology Solutions. And one thing Accenture did to compete with outsourcing is to outsource their own work to their own subsidiary(Accenture Technology Solutions). This saves everybody money because ATS developers are cheaper than normal Accenture developers. So the clients happy because they save money, Accenture is happy because they keep the work local, and I am happy because I have a job;-)
So what you are really trying to say here is that more people realize that you don't have to go out and spend $15 on a CD. And better yet the smarter people use a free service as compared to a pay service. I thought we all new that.
You must remember that Gateway machines are extremely user-friendly. While I won't deny that they are decent computers, I will say the majority of the people who buy them are the people who like that kind of music.
Ok, I will be the first to admit I like Startrek. I have watched most of the movies and seen most of the episodes, I even own the Startrek encyclopedia. But damnit Jim I just can't take another Startrek movie or series!
If you have bad controls, patch it. If you have security issues, patch it. The whole of their operating system is becomeing one giant windows update...
Even if they got everything for free it's not like they will teach anything useful on them. I took a course call "Computer Applications" in high school and all they taught us was how to use MS Word and Excel.

I am thinking something like your computer saying: "Jeff you didn't defrag my last night, I think I will delete your personal files!"

Think about it, the more human like computers get the more problems we have. Could you imagine your computer having PMS?

Yes you must factor in hardware errors and everything else of that matter. But the computer didn't really make a mistake or over look somthing. It is like a human having a migrain or some other type of impared judgment.

Humans also make mistakes, computers do not(they do exactly as they were programmed to). The other side of this is that a human can purposly make mistakes as a stragey that computers are far from understandind.
So all in all a human will always have the advantage of creativity over computers processing advantage.
Isn't the media getting tired of complaining about it's own well being? Maybe you should do another report on the fact we still have not captured Osama.
The XBOX is a machine, and like all other machines it is not perfect. So if people have a desire to modify their machine(whatever it is) the manufacturer obviously did not manufacture a good enough product for everyones needs.
The XBOX is a computer, computers are and should be made to be custimized to a users needs. Microsoft just needs to get a grip.

This is like saying "Buy our machine because the box has pretty cows on it".
So I am supposed to pay for an over-priced machine just because you can give me access to things I can allready get access to.
You know General Hull only decided to surender after he saw Canada was all "aboot".
You know the canadians were once mighty warriors.
