Quiz: Is it possible to built a Lynx cartridge with a RAM
chip & battery on it (so that it retains its contents), plus
a box for down- and uploading games to a computer (say a
notebook, for portability)?

(Hint: the answer is yes.  A friend of a friend did just
that.  Don't ask me for the details: I don't know him that
well.)

As you say, yes.  But this act in and of itself is not illegal.  Of course,
many people who own game copiers are pirates, and they are scum.

	Oh good.  Something new to sap the will of developers for
Lynxes.  Isn't it something of an old saw among ST users that piracy
probably crippled the ST market? Or is that just the corporate mags
making a point by taking advantage of a weak platform's misfortune.
