If Neo Fami is any indicator on the quality of the Pocket Fami, expect bad sound (way off key) and palettes that are slightly off. I'm not sure if the two are made by the same company, but I would expect ANY nes-on-a-chip clone to not quite reproduce the real thing.

Journal Journal: School's not so bad anymore.
..... now that I'm done for the semester.
I can't wait for this semester, when I'll have to learn to "play the game" of interviewing. I hate HR bull#!$@ers: it's not "tell me about your past experience and how well you know how to write software". It's "tell me a time in your life when you've had a positive influence on someone". Seriously, I went through an interview for an internship that was soley comprised of questions like this. Nothing about any relevant skills (was an interns
