Well, in a MMORPG, a good item (like say, the Sword of Pwning) might be really useful for your character, when your clan is fighting someone else. However, it might take a 10 hr quest to get the Sword of Pwning, and this busy first-worlder has a high paying job, so that can't skip that. So you buy the sword for real cash, because you get enjoyment out of the sword, just like you benefit from your 500Watt sterio that was probably built by some other third-worlder.

Actually, Via is planning a portable handheld, with a 533mzh CPU, 128meg RAM, and a S3 Unichrome integrated video processor. It looks interesting, though I don't like the form factor.

So does mean that in Korea, only old people use the Itanium?

Yes, they are much, much more appropriate.
Nice to know that people care. :D
Those bills are being pushed by Democrats; if you want to avoid a draft then I suggest you don't vote for Kerry come November.

Get Media Player Classic from sourceforge. It is a near clone of the WMP 6.x interface, but can play just about anything.
