They are not forgetting these amateur groups. The fact that ASCII wants to
make a new MSX is the result of the efforts of amateur groups during these
years.

That's what they are. A company. Just like Konami, Compile, SEGA and the
rest. They need to sell things so they can earn money. If you thought that
Nishi or Yamashita were going to support the MSX with their own money just
because they are rich, you're wrong.

Building useful applications so more people can use their MSX would be a
better choice.

ASCII is mainly a publishing company and they've been publishing
magazines. Konami, as you might know, is a game company and they've been
developing games. But they haven't been working for free. They need to
SELL their products to survive.

If you think that ASCII is going to contact you, you're wrong. They don't
even know about you or about any other MSX groups in Europe. *YOU* have to
contact them if you want to help. And believe me, they want to be
contacted by non-japanese MSX developers. Have you tried contacting them?

You should grow up and stop reacting as a 8-years old child. You should
consider what is possible and what isn't, and why. And then you should
contact ASCII and offer them your help.

No. This is Takamichi's mission. :)
