I'm almost back to normal now. I still have a slight pain in my throat, but at least now I can talk. By tomorrow I should be totally back to normal, or at least as normal as I ever am hehehehe :)

Netscape 6.01 was released a few days ago, so you might want to pick that up if you have a high speed connection. I havent' noticed much of a diffence so far between that and N6, but there are supposed to be some big bug fixes in 6.01.

Robert Cringly has written a piece comparing Napster with subways. Basically it says that Napster helped sell a lot of CDR media and burners, and that it is the computer's next killer app. I have always believed that record companies are not seeing the true picture of how Napster can help them more than it can hurt them. I know I've bought more CD's because of Napster, just because Napster has exposed me to MUCH more music than any radio station would play. Put I guess everyone just loves to sue.

IGNCube is running a campaign to "Educate the Retailers" about the Nintendo Gamecube. Not suprisingly, many retailers have no clue about Gamecube facts, and are therefore spreading a lot of misinformation about it to Joe Clueless. It's sorta scary how little the people selling videogames (or comptuers for that matter) know about the products they sell. You see this really bad in general stores like Wal-Mart, Target, etc; although it shows up in electronic stores too like Best Buy. The gaming only stores usually are on the ball though.
