Yet another same-old, same-old classic gaming article

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=528&ncid=528&e=… I have to laugh when I see stories like this one. On one hand, I'm laughing for joy, since any such mainstream press (of gaming or computers) is great for the growth of our hobby. On the other hand, I'm laughing at the sillyness, because every few months some new reporter hears about our hobby, writes the SAME story about Atari joysticks, and thinks he or she is the one who scooped it. (As a reporter myself and a collector, you can see why I find this funny.) The same thing happened with VoIP. I was technology editor of Internet Telephony magazine from early 1998 to mid-2000. But in the past few years, every mainstream reporter heard that, hey, you can make free phone calls using your PC and the Internet... (which of course is about 1/25 of the real business-class intentions of the VoIP industry.) Anyway, I'm just pointing out that there's another article about our cousins in the classic gaming world... thought ya'll might care. :) PLEASE don't use this as another reason for a million replies about how bad "the press" is. (Honestly, it hurts my feelings.)
