to say anything stupid about Russian BABES, 'cause you don't have any here
(belive me - I've been checking and I was raped by a fat crocodile ;) ).
Canadians don't have any idea what a BABE is. The same I can say about
canadian soccer and basketball. And to our main topic - about piracy. I would
like to remind you that best hackers and pirates live in Russia.

Write your reply.

assistant: Actually, Jay, the N64 cannot run circles around a pentuim pro.  The thing
never will have enough power to run full, unchanged versions of Quake, Doom,
Doom2 or Duke3D.  Also, the reason that the N64 dosn't weigh anything is
because it's AC adaptor unit is totally external (not that this makes a
difference in game play).  And the weight of a system does not matter.  Would
you perfer that a Pentium 200 was paper thin, but could only run games like
the N64?  Weight does not matter when it comes to this.  And for another
reason, did you happen to know that the N64 Carts can only hold about 150
megs of game information?  And did you happen to know that the Saturn DVD
style disks can hold up to 1000 megs of game information?  Did you also know
that there are games that are to be realeased that will be using up to four
disks for the entire game?
  Oh, and please do not bring up the speed issue.  Ever notice that the
Saturn loading time is only five seconds?  You must be an uppity kind of
person to have to have your game load so fast.
  Sorry, but if your're looking for super fast game play and incredible
colors, sound and power, go get a Saturn.  Otherwise, please don't hit me
with this same bunch of wining crap.

Write your reply.

assistant: I read in a magazine that the speed of the N64 is equivalant to a Pentium
120. Also, it has only 13 megs of RAM(an unusual #) which means you will have
to spend extra cash to get memory chips to play some games. And the fact that
it is a cartridge base system is a disadvantage. You are right. The carts
hold only about 150 megs of space. This means that the games will not have
the CD quality sound that many gamers alike thrive for.

Write your reply.

assistant: I don't like N64 because it is a cartridge based system.  I called the
company and they said that the cartridges only hold 8 megabytes of
information on them.  You could never play a true video game on it, plust it
has no cd-audio sound, like playstation and Saturn.  As for Playstation, most
of the good games require a memory card, on Saturn you are not required to
have one since it has 500 or some kb of internal memory.  N64 don't even have
a menu unless it has a cartridge.
 Saturn has a built in screen savor with a nice space ship flying.  It also
lets you while playing a game open the Cd door without screwing up like it
does on playstation.  On Saturn it takes you back to the menu. The reason I
would like one for computer is so that you could play them with a quad speed
Cd-Rom instead of a double.
