Sega. For the new 128-bit console system: Dreamcast. Coming to America next
year. Out in Japan by Fall this year.

Err, man, those Atari Pong games sure were a gas back in the 70's, man!
Groooovy!
*Whew!* Close one.

Please don't write about Dreamcast in here--my 10 year old son might see
it, then I'll have to listen to another two hours of how cool it's going to
be (guess who he gets that trait from?)--then I'll have to explain yet
again why 128 bits is theoretically better than 64 bits. Stick to stuff
that bores him so I can read in peace, please! <g>

No, no. Tube machines were a gas in the 50's. PDP-1's were groovy in the
60's. Pong was ultra-bitchen in the 70's. The Amiga was gnarly in the
80's. And, well, the 90's ... :-( dOOd.
