interesting. doesn't show up in the us or ca amazon, or on acclaim's internet. amazon.co.uk seems like a fun site, since they say stuff like, "usually dispatched within 1 to 2 weeks." too bad they don't ship to the us tho; joe wouldn't be so grumpy if he was beating me in tennis every day. also phik might come out of his hole and either update his internet, or play with his friends.
i looked that up cause i'm watching tennis. they seem to be able to show exactly where the balls hit the lines now, with some computer something or other. they still use judges tho, which which seems dumb since now all the commentators are doing is complaining about the bad judging.
speaking of bad judgement, i played a bunch of battle.net games of the warcraft 3 demo. it runs impressively smoothly on the mac, which is a welcome surprise after the sluggish civ3 and aoe2 ports. i guess all the good players have the retail version, since i don't think i've actually lost a game today other than from being disconnected (one of those was because my laptop locked up).
my watson demo time expired, so i have to decide if i want to buy it (i'd link to the entry dave mason had at his old site about it being weird to have to pay for software, but it's gone) or not. anyway it's a nice piece of software - i definitely prefer internet-enabled apps to web pages (if for no other reason than that it has no ads) - but i can live without it. i didn't use it all that much, and sherlock has most of the same stuff. but i'd rather the smaller company continue putting out a better product than the gorilla just releasing certain stuff for free in order to squash the little guys. but i'll just stick to my web browser.
you may be wondering what the point of this wandering entry is. not fifteen minutes after i posted my entry yesterday mentioning tyla, i got an angry email from her demanding an explanation of my stance on her and about schmidt. my hope is that if i drone on about video games and mac software, she won't see the juicy bits down here.
anyway if someone in europe didn't get me a christmas present and wants to send me a copy of virtua tennis 2, i'd be very receptive.
hmm i need to go to sleep so i can wake up in time for the hockey game tomorrow.
i ate too much chocolate today and can't sleep.
turning up the key repeat rate makes my computer feel faster.
