/me raises hand.

Well, not Warcraft, I don't own it, but I do own Red Alert, RA: Retaliation, and Dune 2000. I also had the PSone mouse.

Your memory is correct I know that RA and RA: Retaliation can do system link as well as DOOM. You only need 1 copy of the game for RA since one person can use the Allied disc and the other can use Soviet for system-link skirmishes.

/me raises hand again. I still have it, though I don't have a working PSone to use it with.

I was hoping the PS3 would include a feature to "tunnel" PSone system link games over the internet similar to how you can use "ad-hoc party" to tunnel ad-hoc only PSP games, but it doesn't. It also doesn't have a "have a USB mouse emulate the old PSone mouse" feature either.

Depends on what your needs are and what software you use.

Expensive console? That's a rather funny statement considering some of those "PC Master Race" types refer to console gamers as "welfare gamers"

But you didn't need Windows for those games. EVERY one of the games you listed is also available on the PSone.

Not everyone plays games on their PC.

It's not quirky if you you use a tried and true desktop environment (say XFCE) on a tried and true distro (say CentOS/RHEL or Ubuntu LTS)

I have a smartphone without a data plan, I pay $25 every 3 months to AT&T. I'd upgrade to a data plan when it doesn't cost 5X as much. Currently the cheapest AT&T data plan is $45.

Stop spreading incorrect info.

You need to start learning to update your information rather than researching something once and parotting outdated info like a robot years later.

Things change. How many times have I said to you, something like

"That's not entirely correct." or "That's outdated information there"

You can use AT&T smartphones without a data plan:

I've had 2 AT&T android go phones I've used that way, a Fusion and a Z998.

Only if you activate the phone via the phone itself, if you do it online you can have any plan you want. As I told you...two years ago in this reply:

You seem to lack the ability to update your information and keep harping on the same old axes you grind when your info is outdated and/or simply wrong.

You can still buy feature-phones at Wal-mart.

I had a V3xx that had a standard mini-usb port. Nice phone, the Moto wired headphones designed for it, suck so if you want to use it as a music player you really need a bluetooth headset, which the V3xx supports. It can handle many j2m3 apps.

You can get that.

ATT, Verizon, and others have a policy that you cannot use certain phones on their network without a data plan. They will automatically upgrade you to a data plan, even if you would rather use your phone with WiFi.

That's possible with AT&T at least. Head to your local big box store, pick up one of AT&T's Android Go phones. While the phone's quick start card says to "enable" the phone via the phone, if you do it that way it automatically signs the phone up for a smartphone plan...you don't want that.

  What you do is enable the phone online at the go phone website. Doing it that way lets you choose a non-smartphone plan even with your smartphone.

I use one of these:

In EXACTLY the way you describe with THIS plan:

Basically I buy a $25 card every 3 months.

She-it, you got me beat. I paid $120 for a AT&T Go Phone I use similarly, though I actually do use it as a phone now and then.

It makes a nice android-style iPod touch, as you said.

Nothing wrong with that. For most people "scripting" is more useful day-to-day than "programming".

Yes, I know they're technically the same but "real programmers" would laugh at me if I called what few scripts I rarely do "programming"

At least your VIC-20 had a sound chip.

Wasn't there a LOGO port for the Vic-20, or was that for the C64?

That's partly my point, Apple didn't adapt to what Commodore and Atari were doing. They saw themselves as IBM's competitors, when their competition with the Apple II line was Atari and Commodore.
