And I read somewhere that the Gaming business is almost the only Hi-tech
business
not hit by the Nasdaq and is growing each year. Which brings back the old
claim that
90% of what people do with their computer at home is play games and that M$
keeps
adding bloat to its OS in a desperate attempt to keep the $ flowing. What
MOST people
really need is a simple gaming console that can connect to the internet
allowing them surfing/chat/mail
without the hassle of registry/reboot/upgrade cycles. Hmmm.....sounds like
the Linux port to the PS2!
