By the way one of the things that linux does excell is "emulators". They have one for nearly every console or old computer system people remember fondly so if you ever watned to go back and play your commodore, trs80, amiga games then look into pulling that old computer out of the closet and loading linux on it. Thats another big point for linux, being able to get a free software and turn the old computer into a server or router or firewall.

Thanks alot Gandalf, now my eyes are glazed over and I'm caught in a retro daydream... Star Raiders, Pac Man, Miner2049'er, Loadrunner, David's Midnight Magic, M.U.L.E., etc, etc, etc,.. Atari 800 with 16k RAM and a 410 program recorder whooohooo! I soon upgraded to 48k with a Targa 32k RAM board..... then I got my Supra 300 baud modem with outragously high phone bills attached, aaaaaah, the good old days.

..David! wake up!

wha? where? why? Oh, I'm still typing on the forums,.. oops sorry. (your fault Gandalf)

Thanks, I always love a good walk down memory lane.

Cheers!
