Even for an interview with a company that say only does Nintendo and/or Sega games they would see experience of making the most out of "limited" processing power and memory, so knowing PC and console programming can "hopefully" give you the edge over some-one who only has PC experience. And anyway, as far as I'm concerned I haven't reached the full potential of my Playstation Yaroze by a long shot, so I really don't think I'll need a Yaroze 2 for quite some time yet. I'd just be happy with a regular Playstation 2 for the mo :) Al -- http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Palms/3657 Playstation / Bodypiercing / CDs / Gigs / Radio J.
