Whoaaaa! Those were retoric questions. I was showing some

Well, outside coders, Pmarc-Pmext freaks and HD fans, any
other people is willing to get a new stuff for the new
programmes. No programmes (mainly games), no interest.
No interest, the less devices sold, and so on...
I realized a year ago or so that we had lost some years ago our
chance to evolve from MSX2-128K-FM.
If we haven't been able to evolve the standard of development
even to MSX2+ and 256K, are you telling me we'll jump directly
to Z380 and MBytes? HA!

It's not about knowing or not anything about the project, it's just
to know that we have to evaluate pros vs. cons. And nobody
does!!! (at least openly)

Ehmmm, I'll try to be diplomatic... Do you read magazines?
How many progs for GPX9000 lately?

The release of it is not a problem... When Leonardo Padial
wants to release anything he does it, and end of question.
The problems come after the release....

Dude, if you wanna to get healed, the first step is to admit the
illness.

FOR THIS REASON I AM TELLING ALL THIS!!!!
They'll have to buy it, to learn about it, to test it, to code it and
to make a final product? How much time do you think they
need? Years.
And don't doubt it, we're running out of time and people,
specially the kind of people that knows to make things,
concretely the NICE things.
The age of 'unlimited' growth of MSX passed years ago. And it
won't return.
CYA
