I got an email message last night informing me that my XBox had been posted. Since it was posted from inside Sydney somewhere I am hoping to get it today. Australia Post generally is fairly good with parcels. And letters. I have just done some more reading on boot disks for the xBox. From what I can work out it will boot CD’s provided they have the files in the right spot. They do not need some strange boot sector in order to boot. Basically the XBox is all new to me so I am still on a learning curve.

If anyone ever claims that houses in new housing estates in Oz are all the same you should look at the photo below from Mexico. There are apparently something like 10,000 houses like this in the estate. I am not sure I would want to live there. This photo looks like something from The Truman Show, or something like that. A Hollywood version of reality.
