I should say that my interests are very simple. Every since I was a kid, all I've wanted to do was one thing- PLAY GAMES! I've always been about three steps behind on technology my entire life. I was just starting to play Atari when Nintendo started to get big. My first computer experience was with our 286 (6-10Mhz). Somehow I made 486 stuff work on it. It was always fun to see what I could & couldn't fix. That was kinda what disappointed me about console systems at first. Then the HUGE price difference + quality barrier hit me. If I wanted to play Diablo for less than 1000$ I had to buy a playstation. So that's where i'm stuck now. A Toshiba 133Mhz laptop with 32 MB of ram, Playstation, Sega Saturn,Snes,Sega CD, Nes, Gameboy, Gamegear,  and a Commodore 64 which isn't acting right. I'm currently in the process of obtaining several older systems like Atari 7800, etc. It was a very interesting day when I learned about a slew of intelligent folks who had transferred old console systems to the computer. Now it's about everyday I check Emunews for the latest on the trend called Emulation. As  for emulation, I don't think it's legal but it's fun. Dead systems people used to play on hours for end, they can play again. Anyway, please feel free to drop me a message in a bottle... (Literally from where I'm at these days)
