Man now you went and had to get me thinking about the early days before
the 
Saturn launch! Oh how well I remember all the name changes and what a huge

deal it was. Back then there was so much more early info about the then, 
"next gen" consoles. It's not like it is today where it's all a big secret

until they're reveled at some convention or something. Back then we where 
talking about systems years before they came out. All that build up was
what 
made Usenet so much fun to read back in the day. JLC
