    Would be quite apt....if this were a decade ago

    Zsnes does an amazing job of recreating Snes games, and even has graphical engines to IMPROVE the existing graphics. Gens32 rocks for Genesis games and even displays games with the trickiest mappers(I.E Warsong). Fceu replays all my old NES games with great graphical and sound support.

    So, as a great warrior poet once put it, "Stop your whining!"

    Because these "open questions" are a bunch of crap and they'll just pick their own talking points to respond to anyway.

    That's one reason why Washington state isn't going to take it any longer and we're collecting signatures for a 2010 vote to remove all "penalties for possession, cultivation, and sale of marijuana by those 18 and over". Oh, and people in Washington have been way excited to sign.
