Agreed. Mitchell, Marvin, have you guys thought about the GS
community making its _own_ CD titles? Remember the "Star Wars Demo"
that occupied an entire hard disk drive. It was from Apple and they
used it to demo the GS. I would love to see this large video clip,
as well as new ones, on a GS specific CD-ROM.
This is not impossible, you know. CD-ROM burners are connected to
many Macintoshes out there and the GS can use the HFS filesystem. :)
Does anyone know where Apple put the Star Wars Demo?
