Ooooh. Thanks for that. I very almost got the previous one but I could
never quite justify forking out for one. I think the PS2 is keeping me
busy enough. I'm still interested though. I was staying with my friends
in Newcastle a couple of years ago and I realised that the distributor
was just a 15 minute walk down the road so I went to check it out. I
wasn't sure what to expect but it was just Craig's house. Craig wasn't
in but his other half was. They'd just sold the SD card with all the
interesting stuff like Quake on it so I only got to see the photo
viewer. Seemed pretty cool though.
