This looks like a good record for Brian. He wants me to provide a print copy of it, and I think I'll save some of these other ones in case he needs more information later.

Printing and saving information in Classic Dialog is a function of the telecommunications software you are using to interact with the Dialog service.

If you are using a web browser, you can print or save search results using the browser's File menu option, and chosing either "Print" or "Save As". In most Macintosh and Windows-based software programs, you can use the "cut-and-paste" function to highlight text and copy it into an editor or word processing program. Check your software documentation for more information on how to print and save.

Sony's console, PlayStation 2 (PS2), recorded worldwide 
sales figures in the month leading up to Christmas that 
showed a 1.5mn increase on 2001. 
 
The 6.5mn units sold over the pre-Christmas period in 
2002 constitutes a 30 per cent increase on the 5mn units 
sold during the equivalent period of 2001. In what was 
predicted to be a tough period for the industry, the
figures have broken almost every hardware sales record 
in Japan, North America and Europe with the biggest year 
for Sony Computer Entertainment in the UK since 
PlayStation was launched in 1995. 
 
 
Sales on PS2 games have also broken records this year 
whilst Sony also recorded a significant influx of new 
members to join the PS2 online community. From Christmas 
Eve through to New Year's Day, more than 200,000 gamers 
chose to spend their Christmas vacation online, logging 
over one million hours of gameplay. 
 
The launch of two new competitive formats in 2002 has 
put Sony's success into marked relief. Both Microsoft 
and Nintendo claim to be occupying the number 2 position, 
though the latest worldworld sales data indicates 
Nintendo's GameCube lies slightly ahead of the Xbox. 
Both, however, lie well behind PS2's dominant market 
position in almost all areas of the world.((Distributed
