Wasn't somebody doing a FreeBSD port to these things? :-) Not so sure, but either the Sony or Nintendo is MIPS based with heavy SGI design consulting. Have been thinking of purchasing such a toy myself as I'm getting to like playing the flight simulator that ships with my SGI O2 at work. So the choice is a dedicated box to hook to my TV, or software for this box (meaning I won't be collecting any meaningful FreeBSD uptime statistics). Suggestions? Comments? Would be interested in a good flight simulator. Jet planes don't impress me. Would also like a car/driving simulation but not one with "NASCAR". God gave cars 4 wheel braking because he wants them to accelerate, shift, turn left *and* right, and brake, and that sounds good to me. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
