Um, I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone jumped on for merely mentioning other platforms/OSs. I mean, the advice you gave: > My advice, as you mentiuoned games, is to get a real PC for $25, > a 486 or P1, at least that'll run it full speed! Was rock solid; for the application(s) to run/amount of money and effort involved, it prolly isn't worth it to bother with VPC (or equivalent) unless you're doing it purely for hack value. However, I *have* seen people get jumped on for _advocating_ other platforms/OSs here. Hopefully, you can understand the difference. > Now we have a real PC hardware/software support thread going... ;o) On the G-list? <shrugs> The thing I'm not sure you've considered is: far from not knowing about them, some people may be a little *overly* familiar with other platforms/OSs <shrieks heard in background>. Perhaps that's why they come to the G-List. Just a thought. If you really want to channel your energy into something useful, why not contact the LEM folks about sponsoring/getting LEPC (site/mailing lists) going again? That way, there's a proper forum for discussing/buying/selling some of those "other" things. Best, James -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
