- If a Super Nintendo does what you want a computer to do, why did
- you pay thousands of dollars for your Macintosh? :)
-
- To put it another way: the thousands of dollars you pay are for
- nice generalised hardware and software that let you do almost
- anything ... word processing, number crunching, gaming etc... with
- a degree of style and ease-of-use.
- The Nintendo is a specialised product, so it has to be special
- in at least *that* area, if nothing else.
