Want to ask you this because you really have been here and on the web for an extremely long time:
How was RealPlayer for you? It was one of the ways people could have shared videos online back in those times....... compared to putting a whole video file on a web page nowadays which I'm so happy that we can even do now! But we all didn't have the speeds we have now in those times, so people had to stream them....... -
This is site is so good. It's nice to see some older sonic fans are still around online after all these years!

@dreamcasterz made me take a very long trip down memory lane today. The good news is I have actually recovered some of the items from 26 years ago, from backups.
At least I can say conclusively that my handle "sonic2k" has been mine for as long as that.

You said you have a lot of information about the DC as you helped make Homebrewing possible; Do you have any cool information that I could write about? :-)

Yes I do, but that was 26 years ago. I will need to see if my original site is in archive.org, but I do have the Dreamcast SDK circa early 2000. I will send you a link when I have had time to sit down and see if I can find my old site hopefully archived in web.archive.org

- through a freeware program........ I've been thinking of making part of my 'site or a seperate one that uses a table layout and older things for fun, I was thinking of putting Real Media files on there. Definitely wouldn't use 'em on my main 'site and *mainly* use RealPlayer.... no. Been wondering what people's experiences were with it long ago and thought: why not ask you?
In those times, due to where I lived, internet was slow and expensive. Another factor was that I was poor, and computers were expensive back then, which meant all I had was a knock-off Pentium II clone that could barely play a GIF file. Mid-1998 the internet speed was 33,6kpbs here, so video sharing was deemed basically a non-starter.
Early in 2000 I was finishing my work-back period at the state owned telco. I used that last opportunity before I left, to download the Sonic OVA, it took an excruciating 14 hours overnight to pull down a 266Mbyte 640x480 video compressed with MPEG-4, and when I got it my computer didn't have the grunt to play it. During 2003-2004 we got our anime, movies everything from LANs and/or anime screening weekends
In 2005 broadband internet arrived, albeit <1MBps... and with ridiculous data caps of 3GBytes. But there were ways and means to bypass it, and that we did... And then came YouTube.. 2008 was when I got into it really
And now we have 400/400Mbps optical fiber into my home... but I don't take it for granted because I remember the times when my lousy, slow, internet connection COST MORE than this state-of-the-art
