I'd love to just see a GOOD FIFA game. There's around 1000000 of them written, and their all the same side scrolling mumbo jumbo. Lets see a GREAT soccer game come into play, instead of the same ol' piece of crap reslapped with a new year on it.:)
My old NES crashes just as often as my Windows machine. I wouldn't give up my NES for anything in the world, even tho it takes around 6 minutes to get a game to work. Nothing like blowing on the cartridge and in the NES console itself... Being in college and having a Nintendo in our Cafe at Penn State brings us together more... everyone shares their Nintendo stories and how they used to get their games to work. I think it's safe to say 99.4% of all NES owners take over 3 mintues to get any given NES game to work. hehehee
True, but how many average computer users use newsgroups daily to find information regarding software? The web has taken over updating NNTP. Just look at the traffic/. yet it's a big forum of news and discussion... Just like newsgroups:-) Oh well, I just believe it would be much more useful to have a resource on the web. The web is mobile, unlike newsgroups (most of the time anyway). If I'm at a friends house and I want to check and see if there was a new version of some random software package I could just pounce the site quickly. Oh well, that's my crappy 2 cents:)
If those companies are unwilling to answer to our cries I saw just move on. If the company wants to lose vital business so be it. It will be their own fault if open operating systems plunge into more mainstream products. Fortunately there will always be competition, so if one company refuses, I saw move on to the next, and the next, and so forth. Oh well....:\
Open source products only would be great, but tihnk of all the closed software that's being released too. I'd say put more emphasis on open source, but sitll report the closed. That way end users could still pressure companies into releasing more information on their product.
This is exactly what I had in mind also. Of course I'd prefer it to be companies not only supporting Linux, but the other free open source operating systems like NetBSD and the sort also. Kind of a collective effort of free software support. It's something us software users could really use... (Happy first/. post me)
