I'm failing to see how this could be useful. I'm willing to conceed that I probably do not have a use for such a beast, but would be interested to know who Apple might target this to. Any ideas?
They didn't include my 3d engine, Rawks3D. It's really close to being done. I just need a few programmers who know how to program with c++ and my warez copy of 3d studio max. I will be the head designer (I have notebooks filled with ideas) and should get 60% of all profits when we finally hit it big with our kewl engine! -m
There is a large Cosmac Elf Community that would die for this... although most of the fun is finding the original parts and building the computer yourself.

Jesus! Those games were evil tools in breaking the spirits of East German youth. I feel somewhat docile having simply looked at the screenshots... I guess I'll vote for Bush this year. -m
"Perhaps there should be a Darwin Awards for software, awarded to those companies which continually hoist themselves by their own petard."
The Darwin Awards should be for software companies that make stupid decisions and die; not one that makes stupid decisions and holds 96% of desktop marketshare. -m
I was a wee lad when the early console wars happened (8-bit, handheld, and 16-bit), and didn't give a toss about anything but the NES system. After a time I grew older and missed the most recent wars. However, now that I have some time to indulge in gameplay, it's become increasingly irrtating to keep up. Is this massive turnover killing the industry? I realize that it has been quite a while since the PS2, GC, and XBox came out, but they only recently seem to have acquired widespread acceptance. Perhaps I am wrong, but it seems that unless each company plans on making their new consoles backwards compatible they are setting themselves up for a huge fall in this mad race to get the latest greatest technology out the door. To mee it seems that gameplay is the greatest draw, and technology is secondary. As far as gameplay goes, no one can touch Nintendo (although they tend to lean far to heavily on their franchises), but perhaps I am biased. There is something to be said for developer apis as companies are more inclined to develop for a platform that allows them to create and distribute games with the least amount of overhead... and it seems that M$ wins in that arena. -m

man becomes clippy
