		<description>Viva Anapanman!

He's not dead, he's just in hiding with Doraemon, Shin-chan, Godzilla and Elvis

(well, I've reach my pointless comment quota for the day) :)</description>

		<description>Yeah - I'm operating under the assumption that it was his stunt double. Just for the morale of my students.</description>

		<description>Interesting. My vote is 
1.O  2.X 3.X 4.O 5.X

As for #3 - Desktops will never be endangered. There are always new games which require a lot of power to play, there are always rendering and design work to be done which require speed and RAM. Parts are very affordable on a desktop so my vote is X.</description>

		<description>Wow, thanks for the support, Nick!  I'm hoping TheCarbonBlog is popular with ordinary people just as much as the environmentalists.

I just heard about EMobile today in the Daily Yomiuri and it certainly has some potential.  The stock price for that company is through the roof and what they're offering will strike a chord with lots of families and semi-retired people.  Who knows, perhaps I'll even get one myself!

As for the rest of the Maru and Batsu's, I agree with you.  OOXOX :)</description>
