   I agree to a point. Newer TVs, the HDTV kind, are great for the PS2/Xbox   
   and higher, imo. Anything lower than that, though, looks like complete   
   ass for the most part. This is why I have the two TV set up: The Saturn,   
   SNES, Genesis/32X/Sega CD, Genesis/Mega CD/PBC, PSX, DC and N64 all stay   
   back on the 27" SDTV(via AV or S-Video). The Xbox and HD DVD player stay   
   on the HDTV(as would a 360, if I ever get one). The same kind of goes   
   for PC as well: The Laptop, which does MAME Plus, stays on the SDTV, my   
   main PC, which does high-end gaming, stays on the HDTV(you ought to see   
   stuff like Gears of War on that thing).

   See above.   
      
   > It fits in that little space back there behind the tv. Nuff said :)   
      
   Yeah, the space is about the only thing I can see that would make it   
   worth anything. Then again, though, as they are all tray-based systems,   
   you could just stack them....but then I suppose cooling issues would   
   eventually arise.

   Perhaps, I've yet to run in to anything like that just yet...then again,   
   I haven't played a whole lot of vertical games though.

   Well, just watch out of the signs...

   I never thought about that. Interesting, I guess it could be pretty   
   handy for analog...

   Wild stuff, I'll have to see if its in the MAME rom set.   
      
   > Huh?  You need to use a bigger font. I didn't catch that last part :)   
      
   heheheh, very good. ;)
