I read that lots of old games don't run on the newer machines like the 1200… But then I read that you can boot the new machines such that the new graphics capabilities are essentially disabled, so that they emulate the older graphic chipset. If the 1200 can emulate the older chipset, why would older programs still have problems running? Should I really expect to lose the use of many of my old games for the A500 if I upgrade to the 1200? And is the A600 more or less compatible with old games, compared to the A1200? Thanks, ===Scott
