    Do not feed this device after midnight or spill water on it!!! This is a Mexican version of a creature that killed many people in the 80's in amusing humorous ways on Christmas Eve.

    Microsoft supported Windows CE on the SEGA Dreamcast. Then they stabbed SEGA's back with the XBOX.

    Microsoft support's Windows CE on the Gizmondo.... XBOX Portable must be just around the corner.
