When PS 2 gets here it will give people what they really want: brilliant games and graphics and no hassle. PC's are just too awkward for the uninitiated. Their only selling point before was their power. The next generation consoles will make this difference tiny. No wonder Bill Gates wants to make a console!

Following in the footsteps of the amazingly popular game Diablo, comes Diablo 2 which will be released tommorow. Diablo was a classic adventure ame in which playing as one of 4 charachters you had to fight your way through the dungeons to defeat the evil monster Diablo who's demonic creatures were wreaking havoc amongst the Humans. The original Diablo was an amazing game with brilliant gameplay and a brilliant multiplayer. Diablo 2 promises more of the same amazing action and great new features. This is one game that it is definitely worth spending thirty pounds on. It should provide you with hours of enjoyment and should have a very long life span with many different paths to follow.

Ha ha! All you sorry little PS owners want a Playstation 2 - how immature! It has the worst games line up for any console ever and WILL cost over £250. The DVD is a very poor quality one and GT2000 is absolute poo in comparison to Metropolis Street Racer which is appearing on Dreamcast Sept. 8th. In MSR if you are really good, and I mean the BES**T you can win real , yes REAL sports cars! Playstation 2 costs nearly double the price of DReamcast - Go to Gameplay.com to get a fantastic deal on Dreamcast - DC console + 2 games for only £149.99!!!!!!! Dreamcast is the ONLY console to boast online play, and at last CHUCHU rocket enables users to play online against the Spanish, German and French aswell as the British. Oh, and by the way ChuCHu ROCKET is available for FREE when you register with Dreamcast's Dreamarena!!! If your waiting for a next generation console then wait no more - Dreamcast is here and has already got over 100 games and in 2 months time every single PLAYS**TATION game will work on Dreamcast thanks to BLEEM, an emulator that makes all PS games look and feel 10 times better on Dreamcast!! Dreamcast, you might think, hasn't got many good games but think AGAIN!!! Just because Sega don't advertise much doesn't mean they haven't got anything to shout about. Just look at the AMAZING Ecco the Dolphin - available for £23.99 from gamesstreet.com It has the greatest graphics ever seen - ever, not even the PS2 can handle such wonderful effects. Then there's Sega Rally 2, Ready 2 Rumble, SEGA BASS FISHING, F! World GP, RESIDENT EVIL CODE VERONICA - the greatest and most involvingly terrifying game of the series to date, then the fantastic SOUL CALIBUR - kicks Tekkens behind aswell as Tekken Tag on PS2, don't forget the impressive CRAZY TAXI, Sonic adventure, POWERS**TONE, NBA 2K, UEFA S**TRIKER - MILES BETTER THAN FIFA!!!, the list goes on, and on. Don't forget that the Dreamcast has built in modem and the internet cost is the same as a local call - 1p a minute! Fabulous. Then there's the DC keyboard, the new mouse and new coloured pads and VMUs available soon. Dreamcast also will get a DVD drive before the end of the year and will be priced at a low low sub £150! So, ask yourself, is it worth waiting for a PS2 whose games are absolute SH*T? Or shgould I get a Dreamcast which boasts graphical capabilities that will never be seen on PS2 - ever. You can also get DC games form Gameplay.com and GamesStreet.com for less than £15!! (at gameplay anyway!)

I have just discovered after reading information email to me that Geode are about to realease a super cool chip that no longer needs cooling fan. I have no idea what speed it is going to be, but it also supposidly conserves battery life. The company recieved £50m in April from Compaq, Sony, Gateway and Aol to fund this project.

Whay, ADSL is here!
The words may sound dull, but their importance is colossal. Telecoms watchdog Oficel is pushing through 'local loop unbundling'. Trials will begin in January, with a full service on offer by july 2001 at the latest.
into at least 20 million UK homes. So, unless those residents have signed up for any one of the cable services, all phone calls into acid out of those homes must rely on BT's wires. To use alternative services, such Eurobell or Mercury, the subscriber must enter key codes before a call (either from the phone's memory or a plug-in adaptor), which routes calls out of rhe BT network at the nearest exchange.
Oftel's unbundling gives BT's rivals direct access to the company's copper wires: they can install their own equipment in BT's exchanges. This is possible because replacement of the enormous old analog Strowger equipment with compact computer switch racks left the exchange buildings nine-tenths empty. Now, over a dozen companies, including NTL, Energis, Colt, Easynet and MC1 WorldCom, are filling that empty floor space with ADSI, modems that will talk direct to marching in consumers' hornes and offer always-on net access at several Mbits/sec at the same time as plain old telephony speech.
Kicked into gear by this first real level-ground competition, BT is offering itsown ADSL service. So, at last, UK consumers have access to affordable high-speed data.
But spare no sympathy for BT. It has messed up on new technology, acid got away with it, for much too long. And exciting new developments are still being mishandled through poor management.
ISDN, for example, has been so over-priced and badly sold that it will be killed by ADSL before it ever breaks through. And when hackers demonstrated that Prestel viewdata security, was hardly secure by going into Prince Philip's mailbox, BT vindictively prosecuted.
BT's defunct Telecom Gold email system was horribly unfriendly and could not be modified to take an symbol. Online directory service PhoneBase was then built on the same technology as dead Prestel; it needed the old'accept'key found on dumb terminals but missing from 13C keyboards. The first Electronic Yellow Pages was also based on Prestel and an obstacle course to use.
Unfortunately, the EYP Help Line was nothing more thanan answering machine. Phone Disc, the CD-ROM version of BT's paper telephone directories, was launched at £2,200 ex VAT for a one-year disc. After years of pitifully slow sales, the price was dropped to £200 and BT tried to sue cut-price rivals.
It has now been at least a year since BT dropped the price to £40, yet it never even issued a press release. The first launch of BT Internet was a fiasco, with buggy software and helpline staff who admitted char they could not help.
So hopefully all is for the better and soon we will all have high speed gaming for a cheap, rock bottom price that we can all afford!

With the 1ghz processor now out what are the intel and athlon
gonna do when the processor speed gets too hot for the computer to
handle? What i am trying to say is that as the processor speeds
increase, so does the heat generated. Soon, by the time we get to
v.large processor speeds the computer will either start to smoke
or will need to double in in size to hold enough cooling fans to
keep the processor cool enough.
Will intel or athlon invent a new super 'cool' processor that
produces less heat or are we going to have to cope with oversized computers again?
