It's a work in progress, but the 'monitor' is sorted. ;)

I have previously hooked up my laptop up to our full-hd 46" tv and played a bit of Oolite. It does look cool. On other occasions I have played Oolite YouTube videos via the PS3 on it too. We have fibre optic broadband now so can play full HD videos easily.

Oh and Drew, that doesn't look like a 40 foot tv unless your son has giganticism...?

Currently has 'cardboard box' syndrome.

Here's my youngest (note ringed planets). He executed a perfect rotation compensated docking with the station using the joystick. I was impressed!

And the rig awaiting PC, keyboard, mouse and Amp. Should be fun!

That's an impressive death-grip he has on the stick.. :lol:
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Looks nice. 8)
My setup is a bit less impressive @ 32", but the 'monitor' is so close that when working with full page stuff, I really have to turn my head to see everything, eye movement isn't enough. :)
