them in about 2 years. Also they r going 2 make computers incredibly fast (somehow i dont really understand that bit!)

it says it does the data transfer so fast to the computer, that it is equivelant to the speed that would be needed to download an entire digitised movie in 30 seconds And then it says, if u were to do that with a normal connection, being 56K, it would take several days, so u can realise how much faster it would be, so u have something to compare the speed to, to see how much faster it is.

Post by: SonyFan on May 23, 2002, 01:05:08 PM: Yeah, it was called Time Warrior or something like that. Used to play it over at my local arcade wayyy back in the day.

I remember hearing something on the radio back when the Genesis was still going gunz about how noone should buy a game console in the next five years because hologram technology would take over and all our consoles would be next to worthless compaired to these high-end systems.

I wish I knew who that guy was and where he was at right now so I could go smack the shyt out of him. Where the F*ck is my holodeck????

Remember it very vaguely but I do have some memory of it, I do remember it was weird.
