I had to write it, since it
OK, Aley. bulky stuff is probably an exaggeration. I was talking about
streamlining the distribution for efficiency, taking out stuff that probably
won't be needed for the proposed SAM2000 OS. Otherwise, we might aswell just

I do understand DirectX... I don't see it as additional weight in general
use...
What I am saying is this: If we were to make an operating system with the
look and feel of the SAM Coupe, DirectX would probably not be needed IF AND
ONLY IF we were to replace it with a scheme to access the
I was thinking out loud about a modern PC-based operating system with the
look and feel of the SAM - with it designed to accomodate the SAM emulator

Exactly. Source code is useful for this, too, BTW. Also, there's no need
