 It must have been a rumor then. I don't really even care. I
 never had a SEGA system. And I never will. I HATE Sega.

 Oh, I though it 3.

 How long did the Jaguar last? I saw an ad last year for it.
 I was like a last ditch attempt to get rid of them.
 "Why buy a N64 for $299.99 when you can get a 64 bit
 Jaguar for $150.00?"
 How pathetic!
