as well, xmame source is probably what folks will start porting to the increasing number of portable devices (cellphones, pda's) running linux that *do* run at low speeds, so there's no sense in throwing it out because "it'll never be used". besides, i still run xmame on a pII-300 myself...and it works reasonably well for most of the games i play. guess it's a moot point with the other reasons already mentioned, but i wanted to throw in my $.02---technology never really dies until way past its time =) _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
