lol, very nice. I think I mentioned it somewhere else too.

Adam, has this anything to do with CSS?

Not really. Sometimes this is the case - typically with lesser site skins that just " change colours" . In this case it is only graphics that change and no CSS alteration at all. Though in some cases CSS would be necessary.

Ahh, okay. I' m having a little trouble figuring CSS out but can see how the site is changed now, without CSS.

One more question... what exactly is the Gizmondo? And why did they have to give it such a stupid name?

Gizmondo is a new handheld which to be honest I don' t know all that much about but naturally I am going to tell you it' s great. I saw it on show at this year' s EGN and it has been very critically acclaimed by most people I know, it is overflowing with features and it plays movies, music, etc. take a look at their site.

As for the name, I think it was originally going to be called Gametrac, but they couldn' t call it that since someone else owned a very similar name.

More info from the Giz site:




GAMING

Gizmondo sets the standard for mobile gaming. With 400Mhz of processor power, a state of the art graphics chip from Nvidia and a huge, high resolution TFT screen, Gizmondo totally outclasses all other mobile gaming devices.

Built-in GPS technology allows players to discover the true meaning of mobile gaming. Some of the most exciting, innovative and interactive experiences the gaming industry has ever seen are currently in development.

CAMERA
