You know, it wasn't that hard to get mine through purchasing.  My boss 
approved it. 
Our expediter cut a requisition.  The  buyer calls me on the phone and 
says, "I can't buy this!"  I ask why not.  "It is a game!" splutters the 
buyer.   Was the requisition approved by all the appropriate people, I 
asked.  "Umm, yes."  Please buy the PS3's, then.   I did send the buyer 
a url to distributed processing using PS3s. 

PS3's are pretty slow running linux.  I ran YDL6 on mine.  Using eclipse 
was positively glacial.  But I did generate a lot of jealousy amongst 
the staff with the PS3s.   Their jealousy was misplaced in my opinion,  
as the PS3 is not very good as a GP computer.  They are severely memory 
and network bound. 

Right now I would like to be able to display the data from my QS22 onto 
the PS3's.
