   i did not know cisco made arcnet at all, but money will make anything :)   
      
    RL>>> we might have more games available   
    BP>> where ?   
    RL> There are companies porting or writing Linux games. See   
    RL> www.linuxgames.com or www.happypenguin.org. And of course   
    RL> www.lokigames.com.   
      
   i did know the last one, but not the other 2 of them, i follow them now,   
   mostly so i can see if thay change to a1, its kind of nokia and java :)   
      
   my cellphone have java in it, and mms, pure fun :)   
      
   i remembar the game "rocky" from c64 and amiga, now its back in my cellphone

   yep, it maked a1 :)   
      
   troble is what will it cost in store, and how many will bay it ?   
      
   a simple linux computer can do all the same in hardware software by installing   
   UAE :)   
      
    BP>> amiga lives, just not the current hardware and or plans for new

   i wonder if amigaos 4 would run on mac os x in someway, the hardware   
   requirements is there, but software ?

   on the road to cheaper software and more stable its not bad, hopefully M$ take   
   notes :)
