Son of King? Cousin of Donkey? Supplier of alcohol and cigarettes to Diddy? There's no way to be sure, but he has a very funny name, and it was on a package that was sitting in the doorway when I got back from the academic institution.

Phoenix Computing of Ithaca, New York. It's definately a birthday present, but at this rate unless it's a shrunken voodoo head that can lead a holy war against what Windows XP and ATI's CRAPALYST drivers are doing to my black box of machinery, I wonder how useful it could be.

I could install the GeForce 4600 TI that has been occupying the Radeon 9800 Pro's box for the past year and a half, but that would mean going back to playing everything in DX 8.1 again. UGH. I can now somewhat understand why many people swear off PC gaming altogether. The same people who wll play Call of Duty 2 and Quake 4 on a Xenon this fall. That could be an option, until I realize I'd have to trade getting screwed by Microsoft and ATI for...

...getting screwed by Microsoft and ATI.
