You joke but this is already being done. One of my games is distributed on CD-ROM containing allmost 700MB. It is impossible to copy (with my consumer CD-RW at least)
i'm not sure i'd go so far as to use the H word. But why is this article on/. ?
It must be a slow news month:-)
from the FAQ: "Why didn't you post my story?
On a normal day, we can get 150-200 article submissions. Typically we post 8 to 12 of them. Also, Since we post the first submission (unless we screw up- it happens occasionally) yours may have just been 2nd. Or 37th. Or else we posted it a few weeks ago and you're late. Or we may not just have found your article interesting enough. Either way, we've gotta reject 10 times more then we post, so please understand.
They don't want the bootleg floating around because it's um.. BAD QUALITY. The sound is a rather dead mono and the video is murky, dark, and postage stamp size (on the monitor resolution of the person's machine I saw it on at least:-) ) YMMV. Not worth the bandwitdh to download it. But at least you can get a preview and save the $8.00 of going to the theater!
I just got off the phone with someone at http://www.archive.org and she told me that they would be announcing online access within the next year. Also, they are looking for a technical director and a system administrator (I assume UNIX)... This is in San Francisco.
I have big hands and you're right, the GoType is pretty small. But it gets the job done. My major complaint is that I can't simultaneously connect the GoType and a serial modem, so PilotIRC is pretty much useless...:-)

:)
But that doesn't stop them from solving the problem and posting the result publicly
to clarify: It is not a game produced by me. (it's Descent III)..

Does this mean future Rio players *WILL NOT* support the .mp3 format?
