When I used my 486, was for development without an IDE off-course. For development you don't need a super duper machine.

For serious development you do - a lot of the time you need the power of VS.NET in your apps

You gonna do high-end video or graphics development on that? What about
compiling software code? Oh wait, you meant HTML or ASP development.
I'm sorry...

Not a fan of XM, $10/month and they still give you commercials on some music stations. Have Sirius in my car and also get it for free at home through my TV Satellite Provider. They talk way less from as much as I can tell.

XM is now 100% commercial free. When i signed up it was only like 20 stations like that, but now its all of them.
However there are a few stations that still have commercials like stations that are from TV. Like news stations such as CNN.
The music stations i listen to have no commercials.

Oh ok, did not know that, Sirius too has talk show stations with commercials like CNN or ESPN Radio. Guess doesen't matter much, essentially I just listen to 3 of the 100+ stations anyway.

Cool...what an easy way to get MP3's legally since you can legally record broadcasts.
Actually it is legal to download copyrighted MP3's, it only illegal to distribute them.
