So I asked her:
me- So what kind of computer did you have?
Her- A dell
Me- So did you get another dell?
Her- No, it's a Vista.

That's what I was thinking too when I read it. Graphically, they are about on par - look at how N64 games (Super Mario 64, Diddy Kong Racing, etc) have been ported to DS. Perhaps that is to what he was referring.SpongeBuell wrote:In all fairness, he could have been talking from a gaming standpoint. They aren't too different if you look at it that way. It's the insides that are different, which most people don't really care about.XCVG wrote:One guy told me about how my DS is "pretty much the same as an N64". I told him how the DS has an ARM7 and an ARM9 and the N64 has a MIPS processor. Totally different architecture. Id post the whole conversatri=on but I'm typing on an Eee PC right now- horerid kb.
The das part wasa that he's in robotics club. He shouldd know.

I can just see that
Man 1) "I have an AMD Dual Core"
Man 2) "I Use VISTA"
its sad, but people refuse to educate themselves. I have had to explain to people why you cant hook a PS3 up to some monitors even if it has the connections (HDMI -> DVI), ITS CALLED HDCP!

Here is a quote
Me: I have South Park Season 12 on Blu-ray.
friend: Ew blu-ray?
Me: Whats wrong with it?
friend: nothing except for the fact that every time you play it the disc corrodes and the picture gets worse.

No optical disc corrodes when it is played, that luxury is reserved for a contact medium like magnetic tape.sgtpepper wrote:Maybe they just don't know the difference between Blu-ray and Laserdisc, a simple mistakegamer2 wrote:Here is a quote

Well, It looks like I'm going back to records (records FTW!) so I don't have to face a CD rot too.
