Hey, maybe we could do a games/emulation theme for the next meeting?  I
can bring emulators/games for:

Apple II
TRS-80
Colecovision
Commodore 64/128
Commodore Amiga
Nintendo
Super Nintendo
Sega Master System
Sega Genesis
TurboGrafx16/NEC PC Engine
and of course XMAME, which now emulates over 700 arcade games (incl Neo
Geo games)...


and yes, they all run under Linux.  Although a high-performance machine is
*mandatory* for the Amiga emulator... ie, 300MHz P2/K6 or faster... at
least, to play them really WELL. :)

... or maybe that's too much content for one meeting..?
