You can do all of what you just named without trying to run Windows 95.

I run NES, SNES, and DOS emulators (DOSBox) on my PS3 natively in Linux. I use my DualShock 3 wirelessly with the NES/SNES emulators and I use keyboard and mouse on the old DOS games like Space Quest, Kings Quest, and Indiana Jones.
It has less to do with not having enough memory and more to do with the fact that the PS3 is not an x86 architecture.

There is no way that one could run Vista natively on the PS3, since it is a PowerPC architecture. Therefore, a true emulator (not like VMWare) is required, which will do 100% emulation of the x86 processor, which is incredibly slow.

Tools like WINE that let you run Windows binaries natively don't (and won't) work on PS3 for the same reason. WINE just provides a compatibility layer for existing x86 binaries, it does not attempt to do a real-time binary translation to PowerPC.
Hah, I knew I recognized that picture on the display. I fly out of the airports on that screen all the time. Sanford, DeLand, and Daytona Beach, FL. Looks like a garmin aviation GPS display.
BJ's is a wholesale club like Costco or Sams. It might not be in a lot of areas, but I know they have them in Florida and I've seen them in the Northeast as well.
I was in BJ's last night and I saw them selling a Sony BDP-S301 for $349 after an instant rebate...

I'm an HD-DVD supporter but that seemed like a pretty attractive price which is why I took note of it.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
