I'd be almost as pissed off as the people who bought the virtual boy when it first came out. :) > Just curious, I don't own a N64...

The n64 should have been a CD system. It's as simple as that, it would have totaly destroyed the playstation if it hadn't been a cart system. Nintendo has made some bad design flaws lately, their most obvious flaw being shown in their Virtual Boy, which could have possibly been a color system. Then came their CD-less N64, which did good but could have done better. Their new Color GameBoy I have a feeling will be a big hit and really help out Nintendo alot, but I think their GameBoy Camera will be a flop. -- 'Darco darco@NOSPAM@bigfoot.com (Replace "@NOSPAM@" with an "@" to email me) UIN: 1454810 (You can page me at http://wwp.mirabilis.com/1454810) Voria: http://www.datasys.net/users/stu/rquat/voria PGPKey: http://www.datasys.net/users/stu/rquat/pgpkey.txt
