I like how all the mags at the time said it was great just goes to show how much those guys get paid to say all that stuff.

Picked up a Saturn today, long time since I have played a cd at home, it’s lovely.

Way off topic, but what have you got? Originals? Fancy showing your favourites off in the Gallery forum?

I only have originals, mostly going to be Neo Geo and some Capcom stuff.

I am not really a gallery person, my faves are framed KOF’s and Samurai Shodowns.

The depressing part is not that there's a company making those, it's that there's a market for them.

Seriously thinking abut getting rid of my PS-Q7 and getting a fancy Discman. The PS-Q7 is incredibly small for a turntable, but with a record in it it's still too big to have on my computer desk with everything else. Also, headphone jack in the front is annoying.

After looking around trying to find a decent cabinet to store my HiFi stuff in keep out of reach of grubby fingers without success I just got a custom 5mm thick piece of acrylic cut:

Had this a few months now & it works quite well & is held on with Velcro for easy removal.

Another solution would've been to cut those grubby fingers instead.

I watched this, but as soon as I saw Diana Krawl mentioned I stopped listening and put some music on instead.
