2.2 - ok i was confused...

for a second on your word 'Cud' you mean "could" for that second i was thinking this... "Cud is a portion of food that returns from a ruminant's stomach in the mouth to be chewed for the second time. More accurately, it is a bolus of semi-degraded food regurgitated from the reticulorumen of a ruminant. Cud is produced during the physical digestive process of rumination, or "chewing the cud". The idiomatic expression chewing one's cud means meditating or pondering." which cows do.

so for future reference trying adding those extra to letters to be clear.

I mean the PS3 just keeps giving.

Cell is powering the computer that Controls USA's Nukes, Cell is also helping Folding Home.

Even now, Cell is helping National Security.

*Note Cell is not only the PS3's Proc but a nickname that i use for the PS3 now, meaning power =D
