- What's the problem with marketing the Falcon as a games machine? Of course
- you can do a lot more with it than just playing games. And there surely
- isn't anyone who tells you just to play games on it. It's up to you how you
- use a machine. If you like to use other programs (i.e. no games) on it, go
- ahead! Most of the existing software will run on it.
