But what of small shareware houses?

[Godeke]

This is great news for the big game houses, but could spell a problem for the smaller game houses that specialize in Mac games. There are quite a few wonderful games that are unavailable on PC in the shareware space, and these programmers have found an audiance due to the lower number of commercial games available. If this turns a six month project into a one month project, I think a lot more commercial games will be available, which might shrink the market for the independents that have slaved away to support the Mac.

Yes to be grammatically correct it would be:
Oh boy, now they can port it to Linux even more easily!!!

We used to go to the AMC showrooms and try to identify the parts ("there's a GM power steering pump, a Ford alternator, a Dodge air conditioner...")

I've often wondered what people did before porn was easily and freely available.
