Steve Jobs passed away today aged 56. Kind of puts things in perspective... I'm 33 now. Kind of scary. I was never a fan of his products but there's no denying he was a hell of a businessman and innovator. -- ImperiusDamian http://damiansdominion.byethost7.com Diablo II Gemstone IV Mod http://damiansdominion.byethost7.com/diablo/gemstone.php

I remember when you didn't have any grass on the playing field. Good thing you are across the pond or I'd be licking iron bars. I was and am not an Apple fan, though I respect everything the company has done. I don't know how much of an innovator Steve Jobs was, I think his real genius was allowing people to do what they do best and getting very good people to be doing it. I don't know anyone whose life has not been affected by Apple's innovations and it is sad to see him go. To mourn the passing I suggest we all finger each other in the ass and sigh show tunes. Okay that was out of line,sorry. I mean, show tunes? WTF was I thinking.

Hell my current rig is still behind the times, but it can at least run Quake 4 with everything turned up at 1280x1024. A long way from back in the olden days when I was lucky if I was scraping 20FPS in Q2 :P >>> >> I'll get the spatula. Anyone seen Fwanky? >> > > Yeah, I had to get him off my piano.
