Well, it is kinda cool, but good...hmm.,..doubtful, but as a Hitchhiker fan you need to have it, btw, it will be released pretty soon on DVD. I don't remember the exact date but within the next two months. Sorry. But the TV series is a poor substitute for the original Radio Series.

(Available on CD in MP3 from http://www.bbcshop.com/bbc_shop/venda?ex=co_disp-viewbsref=bbcicat=101 ) Yeah...this is really cool, I already have them on ordinary CD, but when I saw they were released on MP3-CD I thought it was really cool, kudos to BBC to embrace newer salesideas. /Anders Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Orange Computer, Co., has picked up where Apple left behind and produced the iTux computer specifically for Linux users who want to Think a lot different. The self-contained iTux computer system is built in the shape of Tux the Penguin. Its 15 inch monitor (17 inch available next year) is located at Tux's large belly. The penguin's two feet make up the split ergonomic keyboard (without those annoying Windows keys, of course). A 36X CD-ROM drive fits into Tux's mouth. Tux's left eye is actually the reboot button (can be reconfigured for other purposes since it is rarely used) and his right eye is the power button. The iTux case opens up from the back, allowing easy access for screwdriver-wielding nerds into Tux's guts. The US$995.95 model contains an Alpha CPU and all the usual stuff found in a Linux-class machine. More expensive models, to be debuted next year, will feature dual or quad Alpha CPUs and a larger size. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

07/05/03 Hello Stephen, I don't know. When I get the drive back so I can reinstall Bamboo, I'll be looking for the Linux version of Hack, or NetHack if it was officially called that.
