I have no idea where you got that one from. The original Xbox never made a profit. Microsoft is deliberately selling the Xbox 360 at a loss to capture marketshare. However, the PS3 and Ninetindo Wii are selling like hotcakes, are latest big things, and have the buzz. The best laid [...]

C++ GUI Programming = classic. And to think, until this, I didn’t know what Emo was.
Not having cable does that to you. I guess not much has changed since my D&D days. I’m still as out of touch as ever.

“You tell nice stories, and sorry to hear about your mom.”
