I think Jay would be as famous as Bill Gates, but unlike Bill Gates instead of promising that technology would promise us a better tomorrow, he'd be very keen to point out that technology will be our undoing, and will erode our freedoms and privacy. Producing generations of people caught up in things that really don't matter, and who don't have the passion or patience for things of substance or traits that help them develop and live as a healthy, happy, human being.

Now this thread is going into dangerous territory.
Is there any life up to now that actually did matter ?

Staf.


Of course life matters, it's part of the structure of universal order, without it we couldn't have death, and what a drag that would be. ;)

The Jaguar 2 had a custom RISC processor. If Atari had more money and the market would have supported it then I imagine a computer based on Jaguar 2 would have made some form of sense.
 
Commodore were using a licensed HP PA-RISC, because they could make modifications to it.


I miss the Jag, freaking awesome system with sadly only a handful of games that were worth going back to. AVP being one of them! :)

Cthulhu waits... sleeping. ;)

I have to say I see the same thing Miner saw more and more every day, and not as a bible thumper, I don't need to be a bible thumper to see the obvious. Likewise, I can not notice the same things that  Neil Postman noticed. Despite all the glitter, cheer, and overwhelming public consensus, I still don't believe the hype.

What is not depressing me is having knowledge and awareness within a world filled with so many false prophets, media messiahs, and misplaced enthusiasm.  Never underestimate
the power of human folly and the folly within human philosophy. Nature hasn't changed, we have. And my Love for that order, that mystery from which we were born, will keep my eyes open for years to come, and it is hoped that it will also serve to correct my own human folly. ;)


P.S. Only the culture that brought you the printing press actually lost touch with history and them selves long enough to actually believe somehow that the earth was flat. And here we are, years later, thinking the printing press has been nothing but a boon to humanity. Funny stuff.
