Awesome, welcome to the Dreamcast club then.  I have 2 of them (one for parts if you need anything) and appx 100 VMU based games.  My old school nintendo library is on an emulator for Dreamcast. It is the best emulation platform out there.

Here is a nice reference site for you to look at:
http://dcemulation.org/?title=Welcome_to_DCEmulation!

People are still making homebrew games for the system.  If you get a chance play "Skies of Arcadia" on Dreamcast. It is incredibly fun.

It's a superior type of coffee maker.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/91/French_press.jpg)

Step 1. Dump your coffee grounds into the pot (and a small pinch of salt, if you want a really good cup). Step 2. Pour in your hot water. Step 3. Let is brew for 4-5 minutes. Step 4. Press down on the press and pour yourself a cup of joe!
