New PC: If you build it...you will have fun.

Mad scientist I am not but slightly irritated I was as it took an insane amount of time to get the new Hughes super-computer together and working properly. After 2 weeks of tweaking, "Deep Hughes" is now up and running and it has already re-tallied the 2000 Bush-Gore Florida votes, balanced the national budget, found oil in Oshkosh Wisconsin, and challenged Kevin Luther to a game of Chess. Overall this beauty is lightning fast like my wife Stephanie's wit and it will probably take over the world once it starts mass producing robots covered in skin that resembles the Governor of California.

Now why would I build a computer of this caliber for home use? Its not like I need to write the next "Million Little Pieces" novel at the speed of light,( I would never go on Oprah if I did!) and its not like the Hughes Week family blog is getting mad hits like Google or Amazon.com, (does anyone read this thing?) but rather I blame Microsoft. I could have purchased an Xbox 360 and have been plenty satisfied to play video games on it. Let's face it though, I would sooner find Osama Bin Laden at the Stillwater Wal-Mart than an Xbox 360 for sale inside the lower 48. So I built this new PC to play games and escape the real world a few hours a week. And what’s the fun of being a guy and building something if you can't OVER build it! Oh well, I hear it will be obsolete by next Tuesday....[sigh]
