Adventures in Hardware

Windows XP...it looks like I'll have to buy it (the home edition), but it still pisses me off that after you use the serial code once, the disc is essentially useless except for support. I can never install it on another machine, if I ever buy another one.

The other thing is, I want to buy a game console. For the most part, I haven't been able to justify buying one, but now that I'm looking at Interactive Storytelling as a feasible endeavor, I'm seriously considering it. Since I'm going to buy Windows XP, I should probably nix buying the Xbox, since it's too expensive. I'm thinking Gamecube...ya, I know, but aside from games that are made especially for specific consoles, a lot of the major games are for all three (or four, if you're counting Dreamcast, and going back a few years). Besides which, my computer is fast enough now that I can get the PC version of some of my favs, and the Gamecube is the cheapest one. In any case, I'll do my research first, and then we'll see.

This could all be just cloud-talk, after all.
