Wrong. Dreamcast was part of the N64/PS1 generation.
Hmm, I had one and at the time it was always being compared to the PS2 and the big battle was between those 2 consoles with everyone being surprised Sega threw in the towel so quickly but in hindsite they were probably right. A pity as many games looked far better on it and the OS made for lots of cool 3rd party stuff.
One missing competitor to the PS1/N64 was the Atari Jaguar but frankly, much as I loved Atari, that was pants. I remember attending the ECTS show in the UK (I was demoing a game for Atari) and Sony were opposite and showing Wipeout. I knew then it was game-over for Atari.
I'd say that was far more of a problem than a discoloured Mac. Being *too* clean isn't good for you. You have to expose yourself to a few germs to keep that immune system working well.
And people wonder why the Welsh have a reputation for having no sense of humour. Next thing you know you'll be complaining about the Pot Noodle ads. Oh, hang on...

Fair point and it did cross my mind but I've never heard anyone complain about file quality from anything on AOMP3. Personally I only listen on an iPod so can't comment on the audio quality to any great extent.
Interesting but AllofMP3 offer multiple bitrates right up to a raw CD dump in many cases. How does that tie in with what you are saying? I'm not saying what your investigations showed were wrong, just noting that in my experience, all the AllofMP3 content has been available in much higher res versions than your MP3s were probably in.
I use AllofMP3 a lot but generally as a try before you buy. For $1 per album or whatever, I can try an album and if I like it, I go and buy the CD (bought two this week - online as that's half the price of in the shops), if I don't I dump it (disk space and all that). There are a few albums I got from AllofMP3 yousimply can't buy as they carry a lot of bootlegs, impossible to buy singles and so on.
I was hoping that ROM did hand over a % of the royalties too but that is sounding unlikely from recent evidence which may make me rethink where I get my 'try before you buy' tracks from.
Did anyone hear this weeks TWiT podcast where they were seriously(?) implying AllofMp3 money gets used for terrorism? Their piece on digital cameras was so full of errors and misconceptions though I suppose accuracy isn't their forte. Whilst I'm off on a tangent, is it me or are they really racially insensative? Each week they seem to mock someone or others accent. Doing that in the UK would land you in court.
Your assertion that the US would go to war with other countries is ludicris and you know it. Inflamatory remarks like yours serve only to alienate the world community.
You only think that because you're on the inside. Outside the US, the way it behaves in terms of protecting its companies, interests etc. looks way overblown and frankly, yes, *I* can imagine the US going to war over something business related. It doesn't seem that much of a step from other wars the US has started.
And please, don't come back with the standard 'but Europe/UK/whoever does bad things too' argument because whilst true, it is truly irrelevent. You can't excuse bad behaviour by saying someone else behaves the same way. I'll happily criticise my own country and do, regularly.
