 == Are you concerned with Software Piracy?
-For those among us of the pirate persuasion, I sympathize with you as well. Sharing floppy disks with friends is part of a long and glorious tradition. However, this is your chance to prove the old adage that software piracy is justified by high prices. If someone pirates my system or game, instead of spending $5 or $10, then I can only conclude that the pirates of today are of a different ilk than yesteryear. This is a retro system. Piracy is part of the game. But you need to understand the culture. This is a lone wolf project. If you pirate it, you are a hypocrite.

 This isn't about money. It's about a vision. A vision of a world, a retro world, where things were different. I have a dream, a goal, a vision. Do you share that vision? I am not being elitist -- I am not a very good programmer, actually. But this is my dream. And as Blackbeard the pirate said, "If you want a job done right you have to do it yourself." Yes, that's what Blackbeard said.
