As we all well know, giving the customer only one choice is the best
way to make sure the customer gets the right choice for that customer
rather than the one choice the company wants to give them.

Or to put it into context, SayNO's dad runs an independent computer
games shop, and it aint doing too well right now. SayNO loves his daddy
and is doing everything he can to get us to buy more of what the shop
stocks and therefore revive its fortunes. The shop does not stock
titles for consoles or Macs, so they must be exterminated and everyone
be forced to buy PC games (it doesn't matter if you play them, just so
long as you buy them).

That's why this is such good news for PC games, (by which I mean
shopkeepers).

Using the same type of processor in no way implies that the actual system
will be PC compatible. It could a completely define architecture. For
example, a lot of the old microcomputers (TRS-80, Spectrum, etc.) used the
Z-80 family of processors, yet were as different as night and day.

Heh. I love BeOS. Takes longer for my system to POST than it does to
boot the OS. Unfortunately, little support and fewer games.

Linux, at least, has easy access to WINE. No need to dual-boot, as
long as your game is supported.

I think it's time to start a crusade for more BeOS games. What I saw
of the shareware market made a lot of the professional Windows games
look amateurish.

Support BeOS, now Zeta. Kill the PC games market.

I think Ambrosia and Freeverse have a number of Mac-only games.

True. I don't see the Mac processor making much difference (and I
develop games on a Macintosh).

Has anyone considered that Sayno and Butterball may be the same person? I
mean, same whinny extremism from both. Some wierd dude out their probably
has alternate personalities ala Jekyll and Hyde.

When he is giddy we see Butterball/Hyde and when he is an obsessed,
maniacal (sp?) lunatic then we see Sayno (or steamkiller whatever he uses
nowadaws.)

What I want to know is this: about 3 months ago you made a promise to
never return if less than 10 people responded on your topic (by a certain
time). Well you didn't get those responses and yes saynotosteam
disappeared, soon replace by steamkiller. Why have you done this? Let's
face it the agreement was with the user not your callsign. Keep your word
and GO AWAY.

Stop lecturing us about honor and integrity when don't even keep your word
but instead find loopholes to bypass the agreement - sound familiar. You
are the worst kind of pirate - a hypocrit veiled as a puritan.

Cheers,

Hawklan
