Is there anything wrong with another list? I'm not trying to split it, just offering another channel for more serious discussion. The same negativity is being shown here just like when Gavin Smith first announced his Sam-Community idea, which was nearly scrapped due to the responces here. But the Sam-Community is active - well done to Gavin! >Are you discriminating against emulation Emulation, I feel, will attract more people to the Sam, but I cannot see many emulator users rushing out to buy a Sam, or to buy software for it - more just leeching it off the web whenever something appears - take the N64 emulators that have appeared this year for the PC - all that created was a plethora of sites with pirate ROM images to feed the hungrey masses. Also, you have to remember there the majority of Sam users do not have access to the net, so a consise archive may form included on disks for them to read, and even comment on. Colin P.
