    on the subject of hourly wage teenagers, we aren't all as bad as you'd think. personally, i'm always friendly to customers, although if i'm really busy then i'll not be going out of my way to talk to people. it's not because of how they tell us to behave, it's just my nature. hell, i'll even slag off my own bosses in front of the customers. we're not all emotionless machines

    and on the subject of curry's: i'm currently trying to get a job at comet (and possibly pc world if i'm lucky) so if i get it, you'll know that there's at least someone in the job who knows what they're talking about .
    Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
    Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
    Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?

    Cool. Can I get 10% discount on a new hdd? Kidding (well, half kidding).

    Nice to know that some staff out there have some spirit. That friendliness can go a long way.

    Here in India they are also showing an ongoing Cricket championship but it seems that they are more interested in broadcasting ads.

    Well it could be worse in the gaming console world if any of us owned an Xbox 360. This would be a good chance for Nintendo to make a come back, since both Sony and Microsoft seem to be screwing up. Personally I never liked the Xbox and the Playstation has always been my favorite up until I saw Sony's design plans for the PS3 (hey at least we know they can count). You'd think that after having screwed up with the PSP's UMD format that Sony would be a little more cautious of the formats that they try to throw at us.

    Just to play Devil's Advocate for a while, isn't the software which will be available for the wii a little limited compared to the other two offerings? I'm not any kind of serious gamer (I miss playing Heretic sometimes though) but I don't like games that look too 'cartoony' ... Not sure what's really on offer from a wii.
