Subject: Sega and PSX2
Hey...I am responding all of these brainless idiots in 
last weeks mailbag making fun of Sega for their Seganet deal. 
First of all, it's a great deal, you get $200 (or a Dreamcast) 
and an ISP (You already have one, and most likely pay more for 
it). I see it as a great opportunity to get a good ISP and some 
cash. And another thing, $164 a year for an ISP is cheaper than
Aol, which is probably what you losers use. It may be a last 
ditch attempt, but i don't care. The Sega Dreamcast is an awesome 
system, and PSX2 isn't even out. If you people cared about playing 
games and not if it's made by Sony, or Sega, or Nintendo, or even 
those hellions over in Microsoft... Anyway, you guys need to start 
using your head, not what Sony or anyone else
says about their own damn system. 
Do you think they'd tell you if it sucked?
Anyway, give Sega a chance...

We think it's a swell deal, too. But remember that Sega has made some pretty big promises in the past that have fallen through, so it's no surprise that many gamers don't trust 'em.

What promises, you ask? Well, back in the day they promised to have widespread support for the Netlink for the Sega Saturn. This, of course, did not happen. Then they promised to have the Sega network fully functional by January 2000, with several playable games. Yeah, right.

Then they promised to take me out for a nice, romantic dinner. Excuse me, but Taco Bell doesn't cut it. And what about the promises not to stay out past 2 a.m. without calling first? What am I, Sega - chopped liver? You promised to take me to Hawaii, but apparently it just "cost too much." I'm not worth it, is that it?

You never loved me, dammit. You're a liar. A liar! How could you betray our love?! I hate you! I wish I never met you! Get out! OUT! OUT OF THIS HOUSE! BAAASSTTAAARDDD!
