Pat LaFontaine’s sweet dream.

While we’re all so busy bashing Microsoft, I noticed that they are the corporate partner along with ex-NHL player Pat LaFontaine in trying to equip children’s hospitals with high-tech play rooms. I may not agree with everything they do, but you gotta stop and give them credit for this. I hope Pat gets to see his dream come true in as many hospitals as possible!

Another Opera 6 review comes to about the same conclusion I did: (link via DiveIntoMark)
