Digital Interactive Streams, Inc., has recently released its Triton player to work with the world’s fastest broadband entertainment streaming service. The July 11, 2006, release of the anticipated FPS (first person shooter) game Prey, by 3D Realms, marks the beginning of a new era in the delivery of AAA games to the public.

Here’s what the free Triton player (www.playtriton.com) brings to the table:

1. you can play a game within minutes of purchase, and participate in multiplayer gameplay while the game is streaming in the background

2. no need for a gamer to physically procure a game and no need to wait for lengthy download and installation processes

3. accelerates on-demand gaming experience for the most graphic-intensive games

4. provides the fastest delivery of any service to the gamers desktop

5. no need to search the web for updates, or modifications, so you always have the latest version of the game and player

6. dynamic, bandwidth-shaping streaming engine, which streams in the background even after game play has started, even in multiplayer mode

7. reliable and extremely scaleable gaming-on-demand solution for hardcore gamers, service providers, content providers, game developers, and publishers

8. available directly from playtriton.com or through over 7 million Microsoft XP MCE PCs distributed around the world

For retrogamers or others who may not be up with the latest PC games, this means you can download the free player and demo games before you decide you would like to enter this advanced gaming world.

So, you love to play games and you are looking for the best way to play them. There is a lot of internal debate when trying to decide between a personal computer or a game console. You first have to decide what type of games you want to play and which technology is better suited.

The PC is better for upgrades. You can buy a regular PC and super charge it in many ways with after market accessories. You can add a bigger screen, more storage, better sound, and different devices on which to play games. Some of these devices help play the games better or more realistically. For example, a driving game isn’t as fun when you have to push the arrow keys to steer the car when you can have an actual steering wheel that attaches to the PC.

A PC is great for playing online games, most computers are already hooked up to the internet to logging on is easy. And when using the computer for games, you can still do other things, for example, listen to downloaded music or chat with friends with instant messengers. Most games can be downloaded from the internet saving time from shopping in stores. There are even sample games you can play to see if you like them before buying.

The console is better for ease of use. The console usually comes with the necessary game pads for the types of games that can be played on them. You can hook it to any television and sit in any position that is comfortable. There are wireless game pads and joy sticks that allow even more freedom. Some consoles will allow you to connect with the internet the games you have online, but the games usually run as fast as your internet connection.

The down side of the PC is portability. The average PC is big and bulky; this does not allow you to take into other rooms or to someone else house. Often for internal upgrades, unless you are a computer nerd, must be done by professionals. This can get quite expensive and while your PC is being worked on you are out in the cold and have to wait to quench your game playing thirst. The average PC is at a computer desk and is not a very comfortable place to sit for long periods of game playing adventure.

The down side of the console is the limited games and technology changes. Technology in games change almost daily and the standard console cannot be updated. You just have to buy a new one. And as the consoles become more advanced so do the games and the new games won’t work on your old console.

If You are running an Online Work at home Business it is very critical that you create a well organized directory structure. The Obvious advantage of an organized Directory structure is it makes it easy to find what you need. A Less Obvious but More Important Reason is it makes it easy to back up your Online Business Files if they are all in the Same Place.

A very Simple Directory Structure for an Online Business Mimics a File Cabinet. You would have 3 Level of Directories. Your Top level would be the File Cabinet, Your 2nd Level would be the File Drawers and your 3rd Level would be your File Folders.

Step 1 (File Cabinet)

Decide where to place your Top Level Online Business Directory. I suggest creating a Directory Directly under My Documents called My Online Business.
You may want to think of this Top Level Directory as a File Cabinet with many Drawers

Step 2 (File Drawers)

Decide what are your 2nd Level Directories (The Drawers of your File Cabinet). Here are some of my 2nd Level Directories or Drawers

• My Programs

• My Downloads

• My Income and Expenses

• My Text Ads

• My HTML Ads

Step 3 (File Folders)

Decide what are the 3rd Level Directories or file Folders
Here is what a Finished Directory Structure Might Look Like

• My Documents
• My Online Business
• My Programs
  • My Ad Trackers
  • My Domains
  • My E-mail Accounts
  • My Free Programs
  • My ISP Accounts
  • My Moneymakers
• My Downloads

• My Ebooks
• My Programs/EXEs
• My Zips
• My Income and
  Expenses

• My Income
• My expenses
• My Text Ads
• My HTML Ads

Now when you want to backup your Business Files all you need to do is copy your Online Business Directory to tape, CD, DVD or some other back-up Device.
