It's also the place for all the "futures" discussion that didn't otherwise
get a group in the great renaming. Why there isn't a separate group for that,
if advocacy is supposed to be "only" for flamage, is a matter you'll have to
take up with someone other than myself.

As for games: if you want to sell Amiga 5000s into the Nintendo market, you
need a slap-on-the-side cartridge port (basically, some isolation circuits
and decoding, so you can make cheap cartridges to plug into it) so people can
expect to be able to rent Amiga carts at the local Video store. Plus, you
could stick all the game in the cart and have more RAM for the neato effects.
I'd buy one in a second.
