Not to mention for "cheap bastards" like me, software enhancement + upsampling (ala ffdshow + Zoom) comes close enough for moderate-sized screens (19 ~ 30).
>>> 3. You needn't tweak, optimize, or otherwise fiddle with a console game to make it look good.
One decent example would be Oblivion - can be tweaked to increase the graphics details to match your available graphics power.
Heh... the PortaPro looks weird enough as it is (IINM, it's still the same design from the early 80's).:P
Sound quality is darned near unbeatable for a pair of cans that are normally ~$40 (though you can find it for ~$20 from time to time).
Heh... like the yuppies comment. Love all the douchebags strutting around campus with their iPods and white earbuds.
I'll stick with my ugpraded Nomad Jukebox Zen w/Koss PortaPros, thank you very much;)

Fully optical computing (no OEOs) would rock, although how do you define a "clock" in the optical domain?
While that's great, now we get to deal with new problems - mode matching, mode conversion, dispersion, acceptance angles, etc.
Surprise, that's what I'm working on : http://hsse.ece.iastate.edu/publications_1.html
I disagree - turned out alright even after having dabbled in way too much BASIC, FORTRAN and PASCAL :P
