...let's see how many copies of GTA: San Andreas get sold next week (release date pending) for the PC. I bet that number will be somewhat > 10. I was *happy* to wait for this title's release on the PC platform. Besides superior (graphics/sounds/performance/control/take your pick), I'll be able to actually AIM a sighted weapon as an added bonus!!
p.s. - I really enjoyed HalfLife2 on the PS2 and XBox... how could THAT be better on a PC? (sarcasm)
I am a longtime (satisfied) user of APC products as well, but have made it a habit of checking for recalls on their products recently. Overheating/miswired units number in the hundeds of thousands, so take a minute and run the model numbers of your new APC gear past Google. *zap!*
The Processor newspaper/trade rag had an article the other month on future/developing datacenter fire supression goops and gases. A brief, but interesting read: http://firegoops.notlong.com/ (The processor URL length was ungodly) An amusing sidenote is that when I was in high school, I had a mad-scientist/BBS SysOp friend who was hell-bent on developing a Halon-based theft deterent system for his car. Once the thief had hopped in and began to drive... (Shudder)

...just a 20% increase in the amount of BluRay discs that will be silkscreened "Memorex" !! (Where did you think "binned" discs go?)
