    Investing in Microsoft with Halo 3 Release

    well, I decided to invest 3/4 of it into a solar company, SPWR, and 1/4 into ANX, the ANX is still pending so I mite cancel and put into something else, but I am keeping the stocks in SPWR. Seems sensible to me. With advice from my Dad of course.

    Investing in Microsoft with Halo 3 Release

    If that's the case about halo, I am guessing a company like Electronic Arts would be effected by a game since they solely depend on games? Eg when crysis is released their stocks will raise?

    How Did the Asteroid Impact Cause Dinosaur Extinction?

    Right, I don't know if I can put this here, but I will try. I know a asteroid, or something, wiped out the dinosaurs. But how exactly were they wiped out, did it just completely destroy the area they live in or what? Luke.

    Computer Supermarket- Reliable?

    For what he has specified he does not really need a good graphics card. Onboard are fine for what he wants to do. Speakers arnt needed as he may choose to use headphones.

    Which MP3 Player Should I Get? I've Never Owned One Before

    Hmm, my brother has a zune I think and its pretty good and stylish. I don't really know about the capacity issue.

    Computer Supermarket- Reliable?
