This thread can only end disastrously...

Although this is probably the game's worst kept secret, for some reason, now it feels like they need to add Bonk to the game as well, in order to cover all three of the 16-bit platforms.

The local BMW dealership around here has developed an "avoid at all costs" reputation among one of the local car groups I've been with, especialyl the service departmenr. Apparently some of the other nearby dealers are better, but I'm pretty sure I won't be driving a BMW anytime soon, so I haven't seen this firsthand.

Coming in 2008: Prius, the sequel to 2007's XBLA smash hit Yaris! collect carbon offsets and self-righteous bumper stickers as you race to rescue drowning polar bears and foil the plans the fiendish plans of Karl Rove!

So when people start heading for the exits ten minutes into the movie, who's going to shout "train to zone"?

If you read the article on the ALMS site, it says that the GT2 Vettes will be running 430 horsepower LS3-based engines. I'll probably still be sticking with the Risi Competizione Ferraris in GT2 next year, off-track drama aside. There's a good chance I'll also be attending the Utah race again in May (I've been to both of the first two, and they have a really nice track there.)

I still have 2 non phone PDAs (a Dell Axim X5 and an X50v) that I use on a regular basis, although my Sprint PPC6700 still serves as my primary PDA. The X5 serves as my alarm clock and also gets used for eBook reading. The X50 is used for GPS navigation (which I could do with my PPC6700, but the VGA screen works better for it) and when I need to have a PDA but don't want to have an Internet or phone connection.

As for demand for non phone PDAs, most PDA end users would be best served by a Windows Mobile based phone, but there are still applications for which a standalone PDA is useful, although many of those are specialized, and best served by ruggedized devices (such as the ones Symbol and Intermec make) with things like built-in barcode readers. A fair number of standalone PDAs these days also come with integrated GPS.

For the time being, my X5 and X50v still work quite well (the X5 is starting to get old though, and might eventually need replacement) although it is nice to still have replacements available if needed.

I'll keep this in mind the next time I need to stock up on licensed shovelware.

I've got a Bub on my desk from one of those .S kits they sell in Japan. I've been meaning to pick a couple more of those up, but haven't been by Pink Godzilla in a while.

Talk about wearing out your welcome with random precision...
