Please some clever person with no value on their
time:
Make a version for the spectrum, the world needs this!
The speccy is a (modified) Z80, so is the NES (as I remember) - it should be possible and possibly quite easy
that would be so cool! Web browsing on a rubber keyboard, those fancy CBM machines are almost "real" computers by comparison
What about the Interface2 roms, the were instantly loaded (Horace, loaded when you turn on! hello baby!) - though they were a flop they did exist...
but regardless, I Think you're right he has mistaken 5 minutes of kraftwerk music to a rom because nowadays it comes in a little.sna file.
[http://www.worldofspectrum.org/int2roms/] Ther e were ten such cartridges released by Sinclair: Jetpac. Pssst. Cookie. Tranz Am. Chess. Backgammon. Hungry Horace. Horace and the spiders. Planetoids. Space Raiders.
They were intended to compete with the games consoles of the day, but were not very successful.
Perhaps less useful to you, but here is the UK perspective:
I work in the UK and have set up a private Limited Company. My current contract is for a 3rd party via a contracting agency, who take commission etc as you describe.
In the UK, your arrangement is known as an Umberella contract, where the agency take care of employer taxes and pay you a salary.
However, I am the director of my company and can source work independently of the agency (with usual exclusions for existing client).
Is this arrangement possible in the USA, it's a good first step.
It gives you the freedom of being Independant but also leaves open the Contracting Company fallback.

Surely this isn't quite right - it's the same in the UK - but the shopkeeper is not obliged to sell you anything at all.
I.E. Can't they just refuse to sell the item at *ANY* price...

The C64 port is ready now, it says on the site that the "oldest" will be put back to the appropriate year when the other ports are ready
surely this is immune to the /. effect

You said the manager was tech savvy - bit of an oxymoron, but Check here for a what/how/why tutorial on pthreads.
