Having > cornered those three fields, how can it _ever_ become obsolete?!! ;) It's quite ironic when you see a PC Magazine or (more likely) Wired article bashing the Mac, going on and on about how Apple failed, etc... then you flip a few pages and read the fine print "Layout for _Wired_ is done with PageMaker 5.0 running on a Power Macintosh" :) To drift a little closer to topic, Macs don't (yet) beat the PC for 2600 development... sure, you do need four (possibly five) separate programs - editor, assembler, makewav, playwav, and possibly an emulator... but we've got great programs in each of those categories, and a little old-fashioned batch file makes editing and testing a one or two step process. -- Stella list is Administered by krishna@xxxxxxxxxxxx <Glenn Saunders> Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/stella.html +-shameless plugs-------------------------------------------------------+ | Stella documentary at http://www.primenet.com/~krishna | | Nick's VCS links via http://www.primenet.com/~nickb/atariprg.htm | | Write the best game, win framed autographs of famous Atari alumni!! | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
