By John "Never mind the colour bleed and bluriness, I've shown my 11yo son the games I used to play using a C64 emulator, and he thinks they are totally lame with awful graphics, and 'No thanks - I don't want to play'."
I always find it funny that a game of less than 720k (the size old single sided floppys for you youngsters) could entertain you for hours or days (or weeks in some cases) yet with very very very little effort i can find a current release game of massive with more bling than 50c yet it holds my attentions for mere minutes......

I think its important to note....
Geeks like this gent are why we all work with computers today, the spirit of taking something sitting on the bench and making it do more is why we can now share information in a heart beat, play games with people from all corners of the world and stream porn from accross the globe...
The sprit of the inventive geek must never die for if it does we might as well go back to hunting with sticks and cave paintings for porn (a sadly low resolution alternative)
so in summary to all you nay sayer's
Was it a waste of time.... Yeah i suppose
Would i buy one..... Not likely
Was it worth it...... Hell Yeah WAY TO FUCKING GO!!!!
Now go bitch somewhere else

I had the director for commnications call (note i said DIRECTOR OF COMMNICATIONS) about the fact that she had not received email all day, I connected to her machine (very painful over a 4k vpn link to china) waited for her screen to appear and promptly clicked on the received colom header. (to change the sorting to date not sender)
after all that she did not even say thank you

they dont need to ban phones they need to ban morons, I was riding home a few months back and the car infront of me swerved two or three times, came so close to the safety barrier at one point I hit the anchors cause I thought they were crashing,...
After seeing this i backed off, thinking it was a drunk driver on there way home from the city, this driver got off the motorway at the same exit as me and as i slide up the middle of the lanes waiting at the first stop light I looked accross at the driver...
It was a 20 something chick and she was doing her makeup.
This waste of oxygen put everyone including herself at risk so she could look pretty for her accident.

Why Change From XP
It took me years to switch from 98SE to XP...
In the end my SE install just died and I upgraded..
I have grown accustom to XP and cant see any logic in "upgrading" to vista, I think untill such a time that XP stops running the software i want I wont be changing...
In truth i really cant see a point in reinventing the OS I mean it XP does everything you need and seeing as 90% of ppl either play games or surf the web how is vista going to make that experience any different...
Someone should just write a vista looking shell for XP, I bet it would be faster than running vista itsself and I bet 90% of people could not tell that it was XP.
All this time and money for some bells and whistles seams a big waste to me.
@AC
I was unaware that the Australian military used Windows for combat systems, if this is the case I am a little concerned.
Just to make myself clear I have no issue with a stores clerk or motor pool officer using an access database (or what ever DB) running on XP.
But we are talking about Combat systems, and it’s all fine and well to say that the applications require a high level of skill and training but if the OS is stuffed the KillDeath.exe application is useless.
And I am not a Windows fanboy nor a Linux fanboy they have there place in the IT world and as far as I am concerned I just don’t see windows place being the OS of the computer in a big metal tube with a large number of lives at stake at 500ft under the water .
There WILL be problems and with all respect if you dont think it will happen you are only kidding yourself.....

And to quote AC "Does this mean that we'll have a Seaborne BOFH episode soon?"
He ED (the editor that is) point simon at this please......
heheheh BOFH in a sub....

MWAHAHAHAHAH
@Gilbert Wham
Now thats an auction iwould bid on!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In all seriousness
Is it not the accessibility of windows that a makes it accessible to the average Joe but also vulnerable...
I just cant see the sense in installing this on military hardware, and don’t tell me its the cost savings, if the gov wants to save money (and I work for the Australian gov) they should be looking at the excessive management levels (we have a ration of 6 staff to one manager and that does not include people classed as team leader's or supervisors) or even better cut the expense accounts of the higher ups, man could I tell you some stories about wasted revenue....
But I digress. the military hardware should have limited or no accessibility, it SHOULD require high level of skills (and thus high levels of training) to use, do you want someone in charge of weapons/critical systems because they were available and have the ability to click a mouse or because they were capable and not only know how to use their equipment but also know exactly how it works.
Anyway I will see you all in Armageddon....
