I still maintain an old Gateway with Win98 on it, with the original VooDoo graphics card. I've found that all of my old favorite flight sim games work better in the original hardware that running on a modern machine. Go figure.

Air National Guard computers at work, so it's Windows 7, locked down with a virus scanner that does a FULL SCAN of EVERY DAMN FILE everyday! Our only option is to "postpone for one hour". Takes about 15 minutes from once it's turned on to being able to work. Everything else is locked down, even forbidden to adjust the clock if we wanted to. Home is Kubuntu computers (11.04) and a Win7 box for various games that I'm too lazy to get working under Kubuntu. Kid's box is a dual-boot of Vista and Kubuntu 11.04. They spend a overwhelmingly amount of time on the Kubuntu side.

A Princess Bride reference on Slashdot. I love it!

So in 2009, the industry takes a new approach: owning your cellphone.
This is already happening with some of the new cell phones out there. My daughter (had) the Sidekick, and it was basically a rented cell phone. You had to sign up for the $25 monthly data plan to get any functionality out of the phone. All contacts were stored on the server, along with ring tones and texts. Take away the $25 a month, and every time the phone is turned off, it returns to factory default and loses everything.
You were not allowed to import your own ring tones, but had to download from their list.

That game was "Rescue Raiders".
