What happened over the next hour or so--between the time the plane last made contact with the runway and the time it first made contact with water--is, for now, a matter of conjecture. The take-off, to all appearances, was a smooth one, suggesting that Kennedy's still shaky ankle did not hamper his ability to operate the Piper's pedals. Much of the flight may have been similarly uneventful, if the sketchy radar record is any indication...

Seven miles from shore, they boarded the salvage ship Grasp and then watched as three bodies were raised from 116 ft. under water.

So why bet a couple of hundred bucks on a minor-league player like Sega? Dreamcast, however, has a 12-month head start on PlayStation II. Past experience in the console market suggests that quality ultimately matters less than the ability to build up a loyal base of customers. So I resolved to give Dreamcast a chance...
