New Dreamcast Magazines
   Three new DC Magazines (DC Mag Vol. 07, DC Mag Vol. 08, and DC Fan Vol. 05) are in stock today. Subscriptions will ship this afternoon and new single issue orders are welcome. 
DC Red Line Racer
   Imagineer has confirmed Red Line Racer to ship for the Dreamcast on April 28. RLR is a motorbike racing game that is compatible with the Racing Controller and the VGA Box. NCS will append our DC 1999 release schedule next week with the expected Dreamcast titles due in Apil and May.
Dungeons & Dragon Collection
   No delays have been announced for Capcom's next Saturn title so we cannot accept any further mishaps with this title. NCS expects to take delivery next Wednesday or Thursday. Pre-orders have been compiled and will ship in a timely manner when the game arrives. Our Saturn customer base remains large and dedicated. Stock will be readily available for all accounts.
Sega Street Fighter Zero 3
   Capcom announced this game for the Saturn and Dreamcast a couple of weeks ago but dates have not solidified. NCS will update confirmed shipping dates as soon as Capcom posts them to distribution. Customers who are interested in either version may submit early pre-orders or expressions of interest via e-mail. Thanks.
   Everything Else
Yen Equilibrium
   The dollar beats a hasty retreat back to 120.5Y in forex trading. A minor setback but the uptrend is unbroken and bias is still positive. We think this is a good trading opportunity to go long the dollar but NCS will remain on the sidelines to evaluate what is happening in the equity markets with interest rates moving higher.
Final Fantasy VIII Posters
   Artwork in poster features Edea on the left, Squall dead center and Rinoa on the right. Measures roughly 36" x 24", bordered with burgundy and gold color. NCS ships the poster in it's original tube that features a Final Fantasy VIII label. Printed in Japan. US$10 shipped with USPS Priority Mail Service. Orders are welcome.
Final Fantasy VIII Products
   NCS is currently negotiating with suppliers for the Final Fantasy VIII products that we posted up 2 weeks ago. They want to charge original retail for the products due to their limited distribution and availability in Japan. NCS is unwilling to accept these terms but we also realize that many customers desire the goods. We will try to sort out some middle ground but the costs will be exhorbitant if we are forced to pay original retail for the items. Please await further updates.
Website Revamp
   NCS is planning on overhauling our entire site next month. The company that is helping us perform the work has asked us if we would like to keep all of the old weekly updates on the server. Or scrap everything and start anew. Through the past three years, we've filled up about 1.3 gigs of drive space. We're not sure if our customers still visit the old pages but please let us know your opinions if you care to offer them (E-mail ncx@ix.netcom.com please). We don't mind either way since we occasionally visit the website ourselves to check old news and to do general research. It's faster than retrieving the data from the Jaz.
Capital Markets
   No positions yet. Just watching really to see if the market can withstand the rise in bond yields. The generals of the net are in an uptrend and are leading the market but they won't be enough to rally the troops for a broad advance.
