Pondering the Imponderable -- 1:41 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I'd imagine that the Internet will soon slow to a crawl with the release of the Counterstrike 1.6 beta. We'll post as soon as it's out there. You'll need Valve's Steam 2.0 content delivery system installed (and have a broadband connection) to get the beta. Update! Valve announced that it will be released at 3:00 P.M. U.S. Pacific time (5:00 P.M. Haus time). Update #2! Liars! It's not going to be out at all today.

In the meantime, check out this article on ESPN.com that shows how they made that cool new Michael vs. Michael commercial for Nike, where the 39-year-old Jordan appears to play his 23 year-old self. I wonder how much the CG for that cost . . .

J.t.Qbe comments: I'll add a random newsbit to your random newsbits: the long-awaited VAX VMS 7.3 Hobbyist Kit will be shipping next week--you can order yours from Montagar. The big attraction for me is TCPIP 5.1 with its DHCP client, a very nice feature now that my home network uses DHCP. I never did get any of the third-party clients working.
