Oh man, this is something else. According to this story over on Wired the Playstation2 shortage is cause for the folks at Sega to gloat. So much so that they even sent out a post card to several members of the press. The card has a picture of a 8yr old kid sticking out his tongue and the caption is "Our deepest condolences to Sony on their PS2 shipping difficulties." Here is what a Sega rep said:

"That particular message was targeted at the retail community," said Joe Culley, Sega's vice president of marketing. "It was basically a reminder to them saying, 'We're here to support you,'" he said.

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.

              yeah, I freaked. I can't figure out for the life of me what could have caused it.

              The power supply still works fine oddly enough. I had been planning on upgrading in January anyways, so I guess it's all good.

              It also gives me a good excuse to not work as hard, cause I can blame it on my computer.

              ....I got an angle

                  a little of everything. I mostly do web work (front and backend), along with networking. Right now I'm basically developing a website for a company using a custom backend I'm creating, but I also do all their networking....

                  I was supposed to be a consultant but they ended up hiring me full time. The site is huuuuuge.

                  My job is cool cause I can work when I want to out of my house (unless their is an emergency of course), and I get to be in charge of the e-commerce division. The owners know enough to know they don't know enough in that area, you know?

                  they also pay for almost any computer related thing I want

                      heh...already taken care of...

                      I'm also going to go buy a pci V5500, then return the fried V5500 I have right now in the same box so I can get my money back. There isn't any external damage to the card so it should work. Then I can use the GF2U for da FPS action and use the V5500 when I need a little flight sim lovin.

                      ..getting the new Athlon with DDR cause she told work that it would compile Perl faster...
