I want to run Linux on it. That would rule so much. Imagine:

"You have an Xbox!"

"Yes, this is Doorstop. It sits here forwarding data packets to three other computers and a PS2, and accepting packets and firing them off on the Internet. The most CPU-intensive task it's ever done is compile ipchains".

Muahaha. The irony. Microsoft hardware running a very effective Linux gateway that keeps two other Linux boxes talking to each other. £300 (or whatever) isn't bad for a gateway either.

How much do Xboxes retail at these days?

Hmmmmmmmmm, this Mario story seems to be going very Legend of the Overfiend. For anyone wondering what the hell that is, basically its adult anime (manga) which contains demons/monsters that um, like to have fun with human girls with their various numbers of tentacles and whatever other little limbs they have. Only the Japanese - pervs. ;-))

That girl jus**t can't decide what her name is can she. At one time it was Princess Toads**tool (spelling ?)

As for beating her with a baseball bat - did Bowzer finally decide that kidnapping was getting boring ?
