    i see the video...

    and Mac are the ford of Computers. :) (regulars PC is like chevys. jajaja) (and SGI are like ferraris.)
    the powermac g5 dual is the best motor for a personal computer!!!
    the Os X (phanter) is the best way to drive your machine. :) (really much better than any windows)...

    i am a mac fan too. :)

    uhhh. so what your saying is they all have their good points, but eventually they'll all catch fire due to cutting costs in design and manufacturing. Right?

    Scary flip

    That's kinda odd, because I was just having a discusion a few hours ago about a poor soul that was killed at our local track on Sunday. He was in a dragster and his trans-brake apparently malfunctioned and activated at the top end. He was doing @ 160 MPH and it locked his rear wheels, therefore putting him into an uncontrolable skid, that ended in multiple rollovers. You know sometimes I think I get a false sense of security in my "full body car" only traveling at "120MPH", however, a video like this just goes to show you that disasters can happen to anyone, at any speed. Luckily it looks like this guy walked away to race another day. Thank God for that.

    OKay Downloaded and installed the codec update, now running media player version 10, still can't watch it. What gives?

    ...(1 minute later)
    Realized I have quicktime, used it, saw the video.
    Brutal.
    Hope the driver is back on track.
