| CAPS Update : Comment 8 of 16 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Kid X on 12-Apr-2004 09:57 GMT | In reply to Comment 7 (Jerry Gibbons):
C.A.P.S.-Project is totally awesome! And a "Thank You" to everyone involved.
"Awesome"? Dude, in what way? Although I'm sure they are putting a lot of time and effort into whatever they are doing, one simple fact seems to remain - as stated above, the "preservation" they are doing are meant for the original authors and the people who gave them the original copies in the first place.
The rest of the world will have to wait until the copyright expires - which, depending on what part of the world you are in, should take no less than 50 years. In about, oh - say 35 years, you should - if CAPS is still around - be able to play Marble Madness and Ports of Call on whatever super computer you have by then. How's that for "awesome"?
Don't get me wrong, Caps. Although I admire and respect your intentions, I feel you are using the word "preservation" in the wrong way. As things seem to stand right now, the word "conservation" would be more justified, since barely anyone can benefit from your hobby.
My two cents, people. |
