Calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, walked right up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said, “I would like to buy some cyanide.”

The pharmacist asked, “Why in the world do you need cyanide?”

The lady replied, “I need it to poison my husband.”

The pharmacist’s eyes got big and he exclaimed, “Lord have mercy! I can’t give you cyanide to kill your husband! That’s against the law! I’ll lose my license! They’ll throw both of us in jail! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!”

The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist’s wife.

The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, “Well now, that’s different. You didn’t tell me you had a prescription.”

I still agree with Jeff’s initial sentiment at CGlVs relaunch: It’s the ease of use and connectivity in Vista that will really push PC gaming, and it’s just not there yet. The hardcore will always snub their noses at the idea that improved ease of use constitutes innovation, but everything from the iPod to WOW proves the contrary; let’s hope Microsoft at least makes good on rectifying the embarrassment that the current ideal online environment is a console one.

Personally I’m one of the traitorous legions on a MacBook Pro, but I still love getting GFW on a monthly basis. I do have a copy of XP that’s been sitting on my shelf for a month, yearning for dualboot, but the day that I need more gaming than the combined forces of WOW and Civilization 4 can provide will be…what’s Heilgate’s launch date again?
