The High 5 is where I work. I get to watch the work daily. It's an amazing project just in the fact that it's going to be completed BEFORE the deadline! Oh, and the reason it's called the High 5 is because at one point there are 5 exit ramps crossing over eachother. It's several stories high.

Nope, that's the High-5 interchange. That's actually a well designed interchange. It's amazing because some of the exit ramps are around 1 mile long and elevated. Mixmaster is south of there about 10 miles. It's old. Seems like it was designed in the time of buggies. On 5/13/05, Gruss Go

MS has said they will "address" the backwards compatibility issue at E3, but won't be announching any prices or different versions of the Xbox360. Which you could interpret 15 different ways. I'll find it extremely puzzling if they don't include backwards compatibility in some fashion since the cur

It was the drive kit itself. I gave up on moving the drive into the new box as I would have needed a new ribbon - the IDE ribbon in there is too short (or rather, the HDD area is too far from the DVD area). I'm going to get a new drive kit - one that will support the large drive. On 5/13/05, Jim D

I've picked up a couple component switchers (JVC and Pelican) for $100 a pop. I haven't seen any receivers with more than 3 either. Even the $3500 Denon only has 3 inputs, now if you've got 6k to drop, this Denon has 5 component inputs: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-FTAKxi16aEv/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp
