I think it's wonderful that in today's world, whenever we want to play:
"Pong" or "Claim Jumper," circa 1982, there's always someone out of the last
5 remaining earth-bound gamers warning us about a BO, r00ting the box and
possibly turning the Atari800 emulator into an Intellivision.?   Or worse.

I'm deeply encouraged that the last of the "Great Five Players" can safely
continue their gaming experience.   Just don't mess with "Pole Position...."
That's where I draw the line, OK?

Warmest personal regards,
