   I don't have that much room available, and frankly, I don't always see the   
   sense behind this.

   I got rid of my ArcNet cards some six years ago when I got my permanent   
   connection to the internet. Simple economics - the Cisco router that would   
   have had arcnet interfaces would have cost me some additional 1300 Swiss   
   Francs over ethernet. And Ethernet was somewhat faster even back then.

   There are companies porting or writing Linux games. See   
   www.linuxgames.com or www.happypenguin.org. And of course   
   www.lokigames.com.

   Sure, but times are moving on. Even I, pretty die-hard Amiga fanatic, have    
   come   
    to that conclusion.

   It's not forcibly the price, if you look at the current PowerBooks and   
   PowerMacs. It's the problem that we need a viable and wide-spread software   
   platform. If we have this, we can possibly win back the hearts and have   
   a following like the Mac platform.   
      
   Also, today the City of Munich pretty much decided to switch all their   
   desktops and servers to Linux over a period of years. Looks like M$   
   got shafted.
