lil...@radiks.net enlightend us on 26.07.97 w/ his post Re: Consoles ARE(nt) better than PCs for gaming:

> Try doing yer taxes on the N64

why has this to be an "either" / "or" ?

why not just get a console for arcade-style games
AND a PC with "mediocre" components for home-office-work
which for sure doesn't need 3D-graphic-accelerator boards,
super-stereo soundcards, a P200 etc.

this seems the least expensive way - of course if you
want to play InternetQuake etc. this doesn't work...

Greetings from Germany, Oliver
