True, but the mailing list is invisible for people who don't know it
exists. So if we're discussing topics like the future of MSX-3, it may
be better to do that out in the open, in the news group.

I can. I know and love the system; I love that I can easily program it
myself and I love the atmosphere of games written for the MSX. And
even if it has it's limitations, which is part of the charm of MSX,
there still is room for improvement, for a MSX-3. Why compare it to a
PC or Playstation? Those are totally different machines. They add new
possibilities, but they do not replace existing ones. Think about it:
even if there are 128-bit state-of-the-art 3D computers, there are
still numerous people enjoying Tic-Tac-Toe and card games.
