nVidia 8800GT: Shock of the Year!

So nVidia has been holding the top bar in terms of video graphics in PC market for past year or so with its 8800 series video cards.  I’ve wished someone would give me one… anyone be it 8800GTX, 8800GTS 640 MB, or 8800GTS 320MB.  But the lowest of the three being about $300 doesn’t help.  🙁

So I was more than pleasantly shocked to hear about the releas and previews of 8800GT 512 MB card that would surpass 8800GTS class and come close to the performance of 8800GTX!!  😮  Best part is that the price would be about $250!!

Holy moley, guacamole!!

Read some previews on this monster budget killer!!

I remembered why…

… I hated alcohol with passion.

I know this kid.  I spoke with him recently to learn that he and his mom are moving out.  Why?  His father is a drunk… a violent one at that.    His father would threaten him and the family.  If the law was up to me, I’d allow imprisonment solely based upon physical threat upon an immediate family member.    Why must men do this??

The sad part is that his dad is not the first that I know of.  Another sister in Christ suffers heavily from such a violent father.  In fact, she doesn’t know the whereabouts of her mom because her mom ran away for her own safety, and because she was so scared for her own life, she didn’t let any of her children know where she disappeared to…

Why must we do such a thing to our own family.  Alcohol itself isn’t evil.  However, when you mix it with men, it becomes way too dangerous.  Alcohol has to be one of the worst family breakers ever.  I am ashamed to be a man because of such family violence that we cause.  I seldom touch alcohol and it will become even less frequent as I hear more of such tragedies…

Please pray for the safety of the kid and his mom…  and all the children and the spouses of abused out there.  I’m sure God is more than sad to see this kind of brokenness.  And men, please remember what addiction can do to your loved ones…
