The X box will be the last in the current wave of consoles and the most powerfull interms of raw processor ability. Is this enough to make better games?
Surely we are reaching the limit of the degree of photo realism in graphics we need.What we need is larger more senorally stimulating games, in short more subtle game play.
Does anyone know how the xbox would achive this, or has microsoft missed the point?

Below is a list off hedging/wind break,shrubs and perennials which will grow on Barra.
Barra's soil type is slightly acidic with a PH of between 5.5 - 7 and it has a high level of salt due to being so close to the coast. For that reason when buying shrubs,perennials try to get New zealand native plants as they thrive on salt.
the most damaging wind direction for plants gowing on Barra is the southerly winds.

Really useful information. I have a friend on Coll who will want to see this. I shall suggest she visit your site. Her husband grew up on Coll and they have built their own home from scratch, and she is now concentrating on their garden.
Also, I have a young relative in Canada who is keen on Agriculture, and whom I am hoping to persuade to come and visit Barra. So will point out this site to him too.
Glad I found you.
