Great idea to get a kid out of the chair .. to go get another joystick. If I'm smart I just take it to the kid.

Wouldn't the kids all come down with problems with the math coprocessor, or FPU bugs?

Advertising: "Candy to eat on the bus!"

More advertising: "Get overclocked!"

That's for the freezer pop version?

...but of course, the newer, stronger candy would be half the price of last month's version. And the kids wouldn't care. They'd still buy 'em.

Put the candy on the end of a paper stick and you would have "The Good Chip Lollipop," yes? (ok, sorry)

Well will the candy get smaller as the processor gets smaller or will the candy get smaller because the candy maker is cheap
