unknown, if you dislike Nintendo's business practices and will not buy a Nintendo because of it, why do you continue to support the GS when apple also has the lame idea of suing everyone who wants to "emulate" their macintosh interface. not that it's "that" great but certainly apple can get off their high chairs and license the stuff. does their greed upset you? if it does, why do you continue to support for GS, and anyone else for that matter. albert chin .just say no to apple

Apple's suit and Nintendo's business practices are completely different matters. There are things that I believe that lie on both sides of the Apple suit issue. (By the way, I call it the "Apple" interface and think it'd be a cool thing if other people got into the habit! It certainly isn't the "Mac" interface, and if enough people call it the "Apple" interface, it might do a small bit of good) Even though PARC designed a lot of the interface in the first place, Apple is the one that brought it into use, and even had legal agreements with MicroSoft, which MicroSoft apparently has broken. I dunno.. Intellectual property is a very tricky issue.. -- /unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu Apple IIGS Forever! WANT ULTIMA VI //e or GS?-mail me.\ \CHEAP CDs info-mail me.

You should set your video game sights on the TurboGrafx, and don't tell me I'm just saying that because I work there... ---- ProLine: lord@pro-midnightex Internet: lord@pro-midnightex.cts.com UUCP: crash!pro-midnightex!lord ARPA: crash!pro-midnightex!lord@nosc.mil
