The 7800 has a lot of potential, as does the homebrew community, and I think the programmers out there could really do something with its advanced capabilities. To help this come about, a 7800 mailing list would be a great resource. It would allow knowledgable people to share insights and ask questions, just as we do here. I've said many times that my Euchre game could not have been made without the assistance of the Stella list members, in addition to all the online resources they recommend. This might be a case of "if you build it, they will come." If a 7800 mailing list existed, that might encourage those interested in trying their hand at programming for it to come together. Right now there's so little out there other than some technical docs that it's hard to even get started. Once the first few halting steps are finally taken, I think this could grow very quickly. I don't think we should mix the two lists, though. There are those who wouldn't want to delete a flood of 7800-related messages, and not every mail program has filters to deal with them. In addition, they might clog search results when using The Dig or a similar tool. I do agree with Eckhard about the convenience of using a mailing list over a web-based interface when you have a dialup connection. Anyhow, in short: yes to a mailing list, no to grouping it with Stella. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
