And what I'd be doing with that time that you've put in online is to go to a play, out to dinner or skiing. I'd rather go to a Yankees game than play an online baseball game. I might be missing the real fun that I could be having at home with my own hot dogs and bathroom, but somehow I am kind of old fashioned and really like to go out and see the game in person. I like to be with other people in the stands and hear the roar of the crowd. I like to stand up and yell like a crazy fan. Somehow, an online game just can't compare to the fun of getting out and seeing the real thing. Only every year or two? You should really get out more. I take at least four ski trips per season rotating between the local mountains, Vail, Aspen, Whistler and twice to the Alps. I don't really mind going to a new run. One trip down and I pretty well know the course. In the summer, we go to a nice family vacation out of state. This year we went to Florida and made a go of all the parks. The year before, we went to the Grand Canyon and next year we're going to Yellowstone. Every other year we go to an outdoor type of area and rotate that with a city type vacation the other years. Not bad for a cheap guy, eh? I can tell you that it's much more fun to go somewhere in person. Online just isn't going to cut it for me. But maybe it will do the trick for those who ARE cheap and can't afford to really get away. Those are the people you're hoping will drive high end pc sales? ROFLMAO! I'm the kind of guy that should be buying that isn't any more. I've got enough hardware and software. Been there, done that, the thrill is gone.
