Amazing.  Absolutely, astounding!
Free G5's floating all over the place and I was offered none!!

Wait, .... I just received an offer for a free XBox with a 3.2GHz - 3  
core- PPC in it!  Each core running at 3.2 GHz.  Sounds like a G5 to  
me; you know the one IBM announced after Apple announced it was  
switching to Intel.  I don't know what to say or do .... isn't this  
there something wrong or perverse with this picture???
What if and here's the funny part ... what if I can run YDL on an  
XBox!!!

I don't see why not!  Anyone here want to try that??  Turn the thing  
from a game machine back into a serious and respectably working  
computer!

The world may be going nuts, but with YDL one can keep sane!!
