Are you a coder?
Hmm... I'm not a coder and I'm obstinated, too... ;)

These phrases sounds familiar to me? Ah, yes! I have said it before! Just
change all words related to "software development" to "hardware
development".
If your supposed Alex Soriano wants to make certain hardware (for example a
Z380 MSX), he will do a Z380 MSX, only, regardless of any advice or external
pressure.
The same for Daniel Cremers, wanting to make a hard project (for example, an
MSX with a Z380), or a Kenneth Pazos wishing to build only a concrete hard
project (for example, an MSX with a Z380), or... ad aeternum.

Let's return to Pepe Sánchez Sánchez. the normal MSX user, who hasn't any
idea of what coding is.
Well, Pepe reads some negative opinions about Z380 project. Pepe reads your
messages, and other messages like the your.
Then, our friend Pepe will think "Oh! Z380 isn't a good idea! I will not buy
it!". Then, some units of Z380 MSX are not selled. Then, messages like the
your cause to lessen the sells of new products.
I understand you when you say that there isn't software for other good hard
products like GFX9000. For this, what you must do is not to blame new
projects. It is a better idea to explain the good things of GFX9000.
Let's prepare for the "evolution", not simply stop it.

Ramon, a question. Before those hard projects, Leonardo was related to MSX?
What does he before the hard projects?

Very, very relative...
P.S.: Ramon, I'm waiting the answer for my other message. Remember, my email
is [EMAIL PROTECTED], not [EMAIL PROTECTED] (I say this because I sended
the last message from a web mail service and it hasn't put my address well).
