That would be cool but it would be better to just get the TT and have the full warranty in place. If the new direct injection 997S has 370 hp and the X51 is offered with say an addl 30 hp, that would be a nice round and healthy 400hp for a NA Porsche

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!)

Did the 6809 do the graphics as well (via sprites?). I have a hard time imagining 1MHz being adequate for what I recall was awesome graphics at the time.

1 6809 I believe - pretty amazing stuff

Here's the later model Defender main PCB - single 6809 in the larger 40 pin socket

I hand tested and tubed the 22-pin DIP in the upper left.

Thats much todo about nothing... media hype more than anything.

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).
