the Dreamcast is my favourite games machine. [the PSX is a close second]
it has a balance in its engineering design that few consoles have, and there is an aesthetic feel to the whole Dreamcast experience that just fits me. and the games sTill look good after all this time even against the latest machinery. the fall of SEGA as a console maker is a sad story and a loss to the gaming world. they deserved every success for having produced such a brilliant machine. it changed gaming forever by producing a whole new level of excellence that gamers came to expect from every machine that came after it.

Sumi, thank you for the offer. i doubt that i will take you up on it [what a curious language English is! what the hell does that really mean when you break down the grammatical structure and analyse the words? crazy, that's what this language is! ] i should be able to fix it somehow if i can drag my posterior away from the internet for long enough.

i thought that SEGA's own controllers were pretty reliable. so you've not found that to be the case?
