Not meant as an insult?  Then why do I feel insulted?  Please shutup.  
We're not idiots.  We know about other systems.  Please try to miss the 
point further.  I was talking about the graphic detail of RenderingsGS 
vs. Doom on the PC.  I KNOW it's faster than the GS.  My god man, 
that wasn't what I was talking about.  Jees.

I have every right in the world to get completely fired up over new GS 
developments!  If you had any idea on what the GS-world is really about, 
you'd get completely fired up too!  I love it here!  It's great!  So shutup!
