> What's your story??? :)

A friend got one almost 3/4 of a year before me and kept telling me about
it.  After finally getting a look at it in a VideogameSpot review and
seeing some of the screen captures on SCEA, I pondered over the feasibility
of it all.  The PSX had proven itself that it could support quality gaming
despite its hardware limitations.  And the Yaroze was _programmable_.  That
was the selling point.  I got into computer programming because of games
and now I code CGIs for a living.  :)

You have to figure that there's always going to be opportunities like this
that come up once in a while.  The question is: do you let it pass you by
or do you take a chance?  I figured, that if it worked out, it would be one
of those experiences that lasts a lifetime.  If not, then I'd only lose
money and time.  So far from what I've seen and what I've done, I haven't
been disappointed.  ^_^
