- No damn kidding to previously expressed sentiments about the
- Grim Specter spreading over Lynx-land.
-
- I got rid of my computer for precisely the reason reading posts
- about the "long term viability" of the Lynx makes my jaw tight. With
- all due respect to the fellow getting rid of his because of local market
- shifts, I find the gloomy forecasts irritating and a little silly.
-
- I got the Lynx because it's the best machine on the market, with
- the best games. If I ever own all of the 59 games available for it at
- this point, I won't master 1/2 of them. Good. It's a damn toy. I want
- to _play_ with it. The longer I have the same cartridge unmastered, the
- better. It means that I am getting my money's worth, which is a rare
- thing in consumer electronics.
-
- In the meantime, I only have Roadblasters and Warbirds. If I
- manage to master either of these in the next day, I will still be two
- years from mastering the entire existing library, which will grow by a
- few titles before The End.
-
- To the inevitable squawkers who hate to be disagreed with, yes,
- I am killing this thread. It's no fun to read it.

- p.s. Thanks for good reviews, Robert. I've consulted them via
- Cleveland Freenet each time I've gone out to buy. Better than the ones
- I've read for Game Boy or Gamegear, both of which seem to have less
- vocal and sometimes far less literate owners.
