I did not know stem cells were already in use. I wonder, with every miracle, there's always some downside. I wonder what the long term effects are of this treatment.
My best wishes to her and the many people affected by this.
Read between the lines. It was meant to be sarcastic.
In seriousness, this idea of making your PC/Console/whatever is a pretty neat idea until you realize it is much easier to just sit down in front of your television/monitor and play the thing.
While the Depthcharge story is true and is probably still sitting in my mom's shed, I realized it was a waste of time. Yes, it looks cool at first, but think about it. Why are you really doing it?
...only to discover your back hurts after standing for hours on end.
I remember as a kid getting an old "Depthcharge" cabinet with all of the parts sitting on the bottom. They lug the thing to my house I start modding the thing to work with my NES so it will feel a little more like the "arcade version" (and to impress my friends...wait I did not have any friends).
After three days of working on the thing with no technical knowledge, I wound up with a broken NES and a broken heart. The cabinet wound up outside with all the other junk.
Moral of the story? Do not make your own. Buy an X-Arcade!
