Why is it when I look at him holding his hands like that I keep expecting Yellowrose to slap him for reaching for something(s)??? :confused:

I have predicted it via a Clie with CDrom credit card size or the MD technology. (

I might get the PSP not mainly to play but read doc, view pictures.
and surf the net.

Games are for those who have time in their hands.
Sony wants their money to double.

   I'm just guessing, but the umd should be compatible with modifications to work in any cd drive compatible with minidiscs right? I hope so. Now maybe sony will finally gie up on memory sticks and use sd or something....
