For example for software, you can define success as profit. You can also

Indeed, with these new developments (FudeBrowser, TCP/IP, etc.) it would be

The new MSX cannot keep the compatibility, but it can keep the idea of
MSX: creativity.
One difference of the MSX is that it is hybrid of gameconsole and

every time you turn on your MSX. From the very start it made me wonder -
