    i think the problem is here the development systems are nearly never sold by sony, ms or nintendo you do only "lease" them and when the production cycle ends of a console you either have to destroy them or send back

    How to put this... I own masters of turok. I do not own the franchise. I cannot make copies to sell. However if they want the masters, they would have to pay me for access.

    It's like owning a rare car. You own the item, the pictures of the item, but you can't go about making more cars. The original manufacturer owns that right.

    now i'm curious! ;)

    Beware of MIBs at you back door! by the way, you could have a friend made some manga-protrait of you, like my avatar, (sometimes i think it's scary... it resembles me TOO much...) so that we can wonder about it...

    by the way you're a great man! not much people would go through such problems for their passions! needless to say you have my deepest appreciation!
