Leo's Crap! But sometimes it's good. Sometimes it's very good!

It turned out that Leo had no crap of his own except knock-offs of very high-end cell phones a friend had brought him from overseas. I asked Leo for a website where they might be seen or even bought, but it seems the friend brought them from China and Leo bought them from the friend. A knock-off of an iPhone that uses Android to pretend it’s an iPhone is under $50! ….But wait, there’s more! Leo also received a box ‘o crap from CasSandra, one of the regulars in the chatroom. It turned out to be a Dreamcast, a video game console released by Sega in the late 1990’s. Here’s a bit more about the device from Wikipedia:  It was the first entry in the sixth generation of video game consoles, preceding its rivals, the PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube. The Dreamcast was Sega's last home console to date. Sega intended to launch the console as part of a comeback after its previous efforts with the Sega Saturn failed. With a strong marketing campaign and reformed studios to develop new creative content, the Dreamcast was initially well received with a very successful launch and strong sales. However when Sony announced the eagerly awaited PlayStation 2, sales of the Dreamcast plummeted and it lost its momentum. Sega later came to the realization that it did not have the resources to compete as it was in dire financial straits. The company discontinued the Dreamcast in North America early in March 2001.” And now back to me! Leo said he loved getting a Dreamcast because his son Henry wondered where theirs had gone. Jason suggested that Leo find a copy of Crazy Taxi, which evidently is a fun game to play on the Dreamcast!
