| Every once in a while, when
traffic on this site increases, our web service provider asks to review our service rates
and raise them if necessary. This is again the case, but we are noticing that some sites
are linking to our graphics files and certain individual pages, which are occasionally
very large. Please refrain from doing this. If you wish to use the graphics on this site,
please save them to your local server instead of referencing to us. NCS is currently
charged for over 20 gigabytes of transfers per month. The recent changes in the design and
sizes of graphics files used on this site should have reduced the bandwidth that we were
using, but it has gone up much more than expected in the past month. Traffic is especially
heavy during the day, which causes slowdowns when other sites are loading the graphics on
our server. Thankfully, this problem is not widespread but it is noticeable. NCS does not
mind if other domains use our graphics and scans, you're welcome to them, but please save
them to your own servers so that our page is more efficient for our customers and
visitors. Thanks for your cooperation. |

of the Day |
Hello
Kitty Keychain $3 |
| When
looking at Hello Kitty, it is easy to assume that it is a creature that only pre-teen
girls would love. That deduction would be wrong. Grown women in their 30s still sport
Kitty pens, stationary, bracelets, even designer fingernail imprints. Oh, and keychains. |

| NCS and a NYC
based internet design company are still working towards an on-line transaction shopping
catalog for the NCS homepage. We started it this past summer and were not pleased with the
initial results. We are working towards a versatile cart system where a customer will be
able to click on any item featured on one of the daily update pages, or anywhere on the
site, and order it on-line. It's a lot more complicated than it sounds, especially when we
want the server to recognize unique visitors and "remember" their information.
We are mullling over several different packages right now and hope to have it implemented
before the new year. NCS receives many inquiries on how to order from our company, and the
on-line shopping system would answer all of those queries. For now, e-mail, phone or fax
are the only options we can offer for orders. |

| SONYPS R-Type
Delta was shipped overnight but it appears that it will arrive on Friday instead
of on Thursday, as expected. R-Type will be the only new import this week. A bulk of new
SATURN and SONYPS imports are expected next week as the Japanese market enters the
pre-holiday rush. |
| With the
holidays on the way, special import requests may be mailed to ncs@escape.com for Super Famicom, Saturn, Playstation,
Gameboy, and PC-FX items. We won't be able to get everything but it can't hurt to ask,
especially when you've been looking for a certain title for a long time. |
