But I also think part of that was the way it was deployed - the way it pretty much demanded a dedicated system.  Most folks don't want that - they want something they can run on whatever system they happen to be using.

2022-09-06 21:09:41 <MrMobius    > which is part of what they dont exist
2022-09-06 21:34:27 <thrig       > also games are a lot of work
