Fact is, that every minute more faster line connect to the internet. I also played xbms, in the early 90s as there was no xpms. That you can do it on a remote server is clear, but is there no other way for you to play it? We can also input a interface for a ZX81 and we will find one who use it, but it is NEEDED? When i look at the world i try to see a kind of "standard hardware & technique point". That means the hardware, software etc. which most people have and use. Its always hard to drop ideas and features but it is in software development a major task. CF need some liftings there. Lost some get many - thats what i want. Also, the server crew give kick, because they make a great job and the folks wanna see the so good as they can... :) MichToen
