What is it they are saying today, that they might turn out to be wrong about in another 30 years? Which environmentalists are we talking about? And who exactly is heeding their advice? Who else have, in retrospect, turned out to be wrong?
The implication, of course, would be that a group of people ('A') said Nuclear Power was really dangerous 30 years ago, which, according to a person ('B'), speaking out today, was wrong; therefore the opinion of people ('C') who for a few decades have claimed Global Warming is a serious problem is something we shouldn't pay attention to.
You're suggesting A = C, which isn't the case. C, for one thing, comprises the a majority of the scientific community (though not Michael Crichton, I grant you). Some of them might have tenure, but at least they are in their own pockets. I think the main problem is that C also includes Al Gore. This issue is bigger than him or Bush, so just leave those guys out of it.
You said it: games. If I can play the next Windows version of Elder Scrolls or GTA on my iMac, I don't need a PC anymore. Games games games! I could care less about running IE7 or MS Project.

Anyone else see the irony of dozens of people screaming, "Dupe!"

Hm, neon and see through glass panel. Sounds more like what a hard core gamer would use than a Mac, actually. Just add water cooling and you're set.
