Trouble with Defective Crusoe Processors
NEC calls back notebooks
Shortly after notebooks with the Transmeta processor went on sale, they make negative
headlines. Because of defective chips, NEC calls back the sold notebooks.
NEC shipped the new notebooks La Vie XM. 284 in Japan for only a few days, now
they were called back because of defective processors. According to Transmeta,
the fault has already been fixed, the devices run without problem. Probably a
reaction to the defective chips: the stock market value of the processor manufacturer
dropped by 5.06 US$. Apparently, defective chips have also been built into the new
Sony Picture Books Vaio PCGCi VE. Other than NEC, the Japanese company does not
plan to call back the computers. An exact number of affected devices is not known
yet. US media speak of about 13,000. Sony offers free exchange of the notebooks if
difficulties with installing Windows appear.

SEGA in the red
(Irina Srebot) - Since the introduction of the Dreamcast console, the former hope
becomes a millstone round the company's neck. The Japanese company faces a financial
dilemma. Sega expects for the current financial year a loss of 193 million Euro.
Despite price reductions to stay competitive with Sony's Playstation 2, there's
no hope for a change. Analysts recommend Sega to concentrate on developing software.
Since March 2000, Sega sold profitably 30.2 million games.
Supplement 12-16-2000:
Accidently we coughed an elder message. On 12-12-2000
Heise reported that
contrary to what many experts expected Dreamcast sells very well after the release of
Playstation 2. So according to the manufacturer around Thanksgiving sells increased of 85% percent
compared to sells of the week before. Also Sega would profit from Sony's delivery problems in the case
of Playstation 2, said Peter Moore, president of Sega USA, in an interview with the news service CNET
on the Jupiter Entertainment Conference in Los Angeles, yesterday.

Nursery School ?
As I learned the IRC conferences organized by UGN and conducted by the Amiga-Club didn't
went off as without a hitch as I said in my show report. Script-kiddies didn't have better
things to do as to flood the channel with multilating scripts, so some of the panned IRC
conferences had be interrupted or could not take place, at all. UGN was already thinking of
never again to organize conferences from shows.
To people not able to attend a show the IRC conferences always were an appreciated possibility
to get actual information, and most of all the only opportunity to address their questions
directly to the VIP's of the branch.
Therefore I appeal to the scrip-kiddies to grow up at last and to stop their nursery school
behavior.
