    How about doubling the mast height and platform size, putting a keg in front of the AC unit with a hose that runs up the mast, and parking it outside of sports stadiums? "For $800, I'll let you and 5 friends watch this sold-out game from your own section with no wait for beer."

    Ten years ago, a crack computer unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The IT-Team.

    @PurpleMonkeyDishwasher:: [www.techeblog.com] Yeah This car show Top Gear made amphibious vehicles out of a VW camper, a Toyota Hilux pickup and a Triumph Herald, and try to beat Richard Branson's world record for crossing the English Channel. One of the funniest things Britain has contributed to television since the 80's.

    @PurpleMonkeyDishwasher:: There's quite some motion-blur in the screen though.

    Probably cheap because of the low response, but I would choose to give out a bit more money and get a high response-screen.

    @PurpleMonkeyDishwasher:: I'm just wondering if he couldn't better kill a netbook, put software on it that could read data from the N64-drive, and build THAT in a handheld. Looks like now he just used everything that's in a normal N64, which makes it bulkey.

    @Demonbird: Yep, but of course we must keep in mind that he fixed this of stuff laying around the house (that's why the PSOne portable screen is used probably).

    Still, he has the tools to make a good casing for this machine, then you also have the money to buy a good lil' LCD-screen :)

    @OCEntertainment: It's probably because MM sucked. Actually I thought it was okay but it was short, really short and it it was difficult to find where you were supposed to go.

    I wanna go play my old N64 games but that damn controller is so particular that emulation on a PC just doesn't control well and so I have to pull out my old system and hook it all up. I guess I need to break down and buy an N64 to USB converter.
