I kind of feel the opposite way but two people can look at a painting and have different perspectives. When I brought a bunch of SGIs to VCF and networked them and played BZFLAG and Dogfight, I got flack for that. I kept explaining how things like this were huge at the time, but nope. And if you noticed. I never demoed again... ever.. Now I go. I watch, I volunteer and clean up. But I don't really want to demo.
Haters! Games push technology! And war, and adulty imagery.
I didn't say they didn't. The fact that games push technology says a lot about our society. (whether that's good or bad is left as an exercise to the reader ;)) But none of this suggests that it's appropriate to push the notion that everything about computing is only about games, because it isn't. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
