It is a video card defect that randomly pops up. It can pop up in a month, or not for years. No matter which, Toshiba's response is the same. Too Bad.

First, it’s a lot smaller than you think it will be (and this after having already spent time with it at E3 and several retailers). Second, this thing is not so much one gadget... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~122307710596 Thu, 18 Dec 2003 22:46:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_122307710596?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_78270402180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rheaton - Set roughly 100 years in the future Quantum Red shift centers around sixteen racers &#150only a handful are available at the start, the rest must be unlocked &#150 who race Single Person Armed Racing Craft or SPARCs.

It&#146s not a SIM. What it&#146s meant to be is an arcade racer that offers up two things in massive doses; Speed and Crashes. Keeping that narrow focus in mind, Burnout 2 does damn near... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~78266666628 Tue, 15 Oct 2002 15:30:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_78266666628?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_78266404484?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rheaton - Can you imagine the awkward silence that must have settled over the SEGA board room when the subject of SEGA GT 2002 came up?

In fact, we picked this thing up and promptly beat the gold medal scores for the first three tracks in racing and show-off modes in our first shot. Well, this scared us.
