Pretty amazing stuff we have nowadays...I still think it is cool, even though I occasionally wish I was doing something else for a living for a short period of time...like putting price tags on cans of soup!

Heh, but only for a day or two...:)

I downloaded some games last night for the PS-1 emulator. One of them was about 314 mb and it took a whole minute to download.

My internet was blazing FAST at 3 AM with no one else on.

MAME ROMs are available all over. Check out the size of this before you download it, though!

I noticed the size varies greatly. I still can’t MAME to work though. If I ever get it to work, I have a little arcade gathered.

The Super NES emulator is pretty good too. Those games are much smaller files than the PS One games.

If you are tech challenged, don’t do it.
Linux is great but if you are challenged, get someone to set it up for you. It’s not hard to do, it’s just different.
