Then we could all follow your lead and join your 500 club.

Well, I did call 2010, but even I didn't think they'd do this well!

Must be a virus - with a 3yr time bomb - here I was in the 997 forum and next thing I know computer geekdom
I know: Tail Up or Tail Down? (I think this is the antidote!)

Yep - good old 6809E (@ 1 Mhz) for the game, and 6808 (@ 894.75 Khz) for Sound Effects.
With the main program in PROM, and high scores in battery backed RAM.
Lots and lots of discrete logic on the boards, really basic stuff.
This was the first ever arcade game to use a scrolling landscape, and the RADAR HUD screen, so was a real ground breaker in many respects.

It means nothing.
Remember, AOL's market cap far exceeded Time-Warner at some point.
Market cap is partly a speculating and popularity contest.
That said, I'm glad to see it,.... hopefully it will finally light a usefull fire under MSFTs backside to make some substantial changes to their ways and stop thinking that hiring quick thinking puzzle solvers will necessarily produce good software. I mean, after 35 years, the STILL don't have an operating system that will let the user reliably KILL a process that has hung (ask them why telling windows 7 to kill a hung skype process resulted in nothing happening and I had to hard-power-off the machine to kill the app).
