I played a little Q4 last night, and did some benchmark testing on 
F.E.A.R. but I'm away from my home PC until Sunday.  I really should 
invest in a laptop that can play something more challenging than the 
original Half-Life.
Was Batman Begins a good movie?  I just finally picked up the Firefly 
DVDs, after having seen Serenity four times in the theater.
