I am a huge FAN of racing.  Cars, bikes, go karts, R/C cars, whatever.  If it
goes, I will race it.

Racing computers is *kinda* silly though.  You only get a certain amount of ELO
through mhz accleration, and it's minimal.  That's why I don't overclock.

But I _DO_ keep up with technology.  When something new comes out, I run out and
buy it.  Why?  I have no idea.  I just like having *new* stuff.

I'm not racing anyone.  Not that I know of anyway.  :)
