I've got that domain willfully blocked due to unrelated reasons (privacy, etc.) So just on the off-chance, does anyone know if the post has been reposted anywhere else?

Here in California, both Atari ST and Amiga were less common than PCs and Macs, but they weren't entirely absent. I and a small group of friends had STs of various flavors. And I knew several people with Amigas. To illustrate, my par

To reiterate: the point of my anecdote was to point out how out of touch I am. Sure, wireless gaming is fine. Still, for me, I can't fathom investing the kind of money this fellow had on a gaming rig to then pair it with wireless netw

In our spot tests, we have not seen any performance difference or idiosyncratic behavior. Today, their differences seem more about licensing and support, and less about technology.
