That seems a rather ludicrous statement, since *every* image you view on the
web is *automatically* downloaded to the cache your hard drive.
Weird.

One of these days I'll get around to finishing the hack on mine. When I
first got it, I misunderstood the directions, and managed to destroy the
loader. Then I got a new DVD-ROM drive to replace the old loader, and
that won't interface with the motherboard properly. It'll play CDs,
MP3 CD-Rs, and VCDs, but it won't play DVDs. Go fig. So now I need
to get yet another DVD-ROM drive and swap it in, and if that one works,
then I can start over and do the proper hack to get rid of the region
encoding.

Mr. Kresge went to my grandparents' church in Detroit, and he was at my
parents' wedding. :-)
I have to go shovel the walk. See you all later...
