  Ys (video game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The PC Engine CD-ROM version is called The Dawn of Ys and takes several different turns, plot-wise, including some significant inconsistencies with the canonical storyline.
At one point, NEC Interchannel proposed bringing DigiCube's Ys I and II: Eternal Story to the US, but the idea was rejected by Sony, due to their prevailing attitudes toward the viability of 2D games in the US market, as well as numerous technical issues with the port itself.
Ys, especially Ys Book I and II in its various incarnations and remakes, are known throughout the industry for its groundbreaking melodic soundtrack by Yuzo Koshiro, Mieko Ishikawa and Hideya Nagata, who were among the first video game musicians to move beyond blips and bleeps to create movie-like memorable soundtracks in video games.

The Japanese PC maker took the wraps off its Valuestar G Type C, a new desktop PC that has a radiator embedded in the water cooler unit built into the back of the chassis.

NEC said it is giving an LED (light-emitting diode) clock to the first 200 people who purchase the new Valuestar PC and fill out a questionnaire.

 Eroge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NEC was behind its competitors in terms of hardware (with only 16 colors and no sound support) and needed a way to regain control of the market.
As the amount of interactive game play is limited for most of these translated games, they are sometimes considered better as visual novels for the PC rather than computer games in the usual sense of the word.
For the most part, Western exposure to the genre has been limited due to the small number of companies willing to localize eroge, a lack of market penetration, and non-existent support from magazines, game review sites, and adult stores.

 11/5/99 BW Online--Alain Couder's Futile Effort to Merge Packard Bell with Micron
Japan-based NEC was dealing with its own financial mess, and it had little patience for Packard Bell, having already poured more than $2 billion into the struggling PC maker since 1996.
Now, NEC is expected to announce on Nov. 9 that it is forming a new global PC unit, which will combine all of NEC's PC operations outside of Japan.
And since NEC was never was enamored with Couder's focus on the cutthroat consumer PC market, with its minute margins on cheap sub-$1,000 PCs, the new entity will get much more support from Japan.

 Nokia PC Suite 4.88 - Important files are corrupted - Nokia Talk - Mobiledia
Please re-install software.” The main effect of the corruption appears to be that it is impossible to save messages that are sent from the desk top PC and some of the messages on the phone are not read by the phone editor.
Earlier I read somewhere else that XP Service Pack 2 can be the cause of this problem occuring with PC Suite 6.1, but seeing as I never got round to installing SP2 on my computer, that possibility is ruled out.
PC Suite 6.4 isn't an option either because it doesn't even have Nokia Phone Editor.
