Anyway, no, games aren't needed, but who cares? I don't NEED to watch TV but if I had to pick between just a moniter with a VCR hooked up to it or a TV that could play back TV channels, I'd always go for the latter. And also, I WANT video games. I'm not about to pick the Mac system because of some interface superiority or whatever. I pick my system based on how wide a selection of software I have for it.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
