EMI and the Death of the Television

Server Status: Up

Server Notes
Motoko has been having just a wonderful time with all of these electrical storms (*snicker*) So the link has been up and down all month. Hopefully after the summer rainny season ends the server will get stable again.

But on normal NQIG status stuff, The television in the game room has been slowly but surely failing. And Vap and I (Jim The Cactus) have decided to put the metaphorical hat out. Basically what's gonna happen is that we're going to hold a vote this friday for what kind of television we want to get and then what we're going to do is put out a collection jar. When we collect enough money for a new TV (And I do plan to donate some myself) we'll go out, buy it, and set it up. What this means though is that if we vote on it and decide that if we want to try and get a 52" High Definition Plasma Screen TV, we're gonna have to collect $8000. So we should be prudent in our selection of goals. Remember however: we CANNOT get a projection TV. The reason for this is printed in the packaging of EVERY console. Also, as cool as it would be, we should think long and hard before committing to a 16:9 aspect ratio television, especially considering the lessons all of us have learned working with my laptop.
