Until MS lets me plug my beloved Logitech G25 wheel into my 360, I'll stick with Gran Turismo on the PS3.

This is unfortunate -- I'd love to be able to enjoy both good games with the same good equipment. I refuse to buy a second (poorer) wheel to properly enjoy Forza.

Paul, E71:

There are real uses for these, as Rory mentioned. Just perhaps not for the average Engadget reader... ;-)

We keep a Magma box installed on the instrument rack in our research aircraft, for image and data acquisition cards, etc. When we fly, we hook up to a laptop for data collection with LabView. It's a far better solution than keeping a full desktop installed in the aircraft.

Sounds a bit like the old Journeyman Project 2: Buried in Time:

Ah... using cheese whiz from the replicator to propel myself to the space station door. Love it.

At least the one's I remember in our family's house:

Fat Mac -> SE -> Classic II (w/ SCSI portrait display) ->Performa 630CD -> (Painful trip to the Dark Side) -> PB Lombard -> iBook G3 -> Ti 667DVI -> 15" AlBook.

1.5GHz Superdrive Aluminum here...

...No problems through any updates.


((However, I do have a sticky hinge, finnicky latch, and a corroding wrist rest that I eventually need to get fixed under AppleCare... ...if only I could pull myself away from my otherwise OK Powerbook.))
