   I know you, did you ever get a letter from "James" asking you about
yaroze development with Linux? Believe it or not, I do visit all the
pages at one time or another. Maybe you could indulge us all and start
a new thread on what goes into using the yaroze with Linux, your page
gives few details. I'd be curious to hear.
   What really piques my curiosity about Project X is that they are
marketing development kits for $7500.. Wow, is that cheap! Any four or
five of us could team up and purchase a professional kit. This would
not be so easy with PSX or Nintendo, considering the former costs
$20,000 - $30,000, and the N64 kit costs several times more.
   I was wondering how they could succeed in a market with three
consoles already out there, what could their business plan be?
Now I see part of the plan is to market great tools at reasonable
prices.  I mispoke when I said August,  when I type fast I screw up.
I await the release in October, I want to see this hardware at work.
   Mario, our ever-secretive independant contractor, who is bound by a
NDA, got a preview of the system, and he believes they will do very
well. I am not convinced yet, but now my opinion allows for the
possibility. Hopefully, they won't charge $400. for the system the way
the 32-bit generation did when it showed up. I actually want them to
succeed now, which has not always been the case.
