And even if we had enough Italos, other problems would arise, like the
sprouting of "anti-MSX" Italos. I am not an emulator user, but I still
think that Arnaud's work is much useful for everyone. I someone creates a
new piece of hardware, it's good to test with all the available software,
which was easy to find through out MEP. Everyone is losing from MEP's
closing.

MSX architecture has very limitations, but what about compatibility? If it
cannot run current MSX software, then it's not a MSX. And if it's not a
MSX, then what's the relationship between his architecture and us? In
fact, after seeing two great guys coming out from the MSX scene, something
that I wouldn't like to see is Padial, Ademir and ESE coming out. Ademir's
architecture is better than Turbo-R's, but don't forget MSX!

Why do I think that? Just because people who complained about Arnaud's
work probably is against old machines and all them can see os PC+M$.

You don't have to be active, productive and helpful simultaneously. Being
just one of these is enough! I am active and I try to be helpful, but I
know that I am not productive, but it's far better then giving up MSX.

Fortunately I think that all of us agree with you!
