Sparky

Oh, yeah, and Sparky (my current computer) gets to go to my sister. Actually, I think only the tower will be going because I want to keep the peripherals for docking. I'd been planning to keep Sparky to use as a server or some such nerdy endeavor, but I'd rather give him to my sister.

DivX Question

So I have this DivX Player I got to play some video clips from a friend. Someone told me that DivX is some kind of crack for DVDish stuff. Is this true and does it mean that when my new computer with DVD drive and software arrives I wont need the DivX player anymore?

She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,
     She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
     And curtsied up and down.
She turned to the sunlight
     And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour:
     "Winter is dead."
