Good blog entry material showing that a pcb that might get tossed away by some businesses might still be in working shape afterall and can be repaired/patched to still run a bit longer.
Another quality example of how MAME is a great utility program and not simply a program that is just a "players-play-games-for-free" pirate program.
For newbies who weren't around ten to fifteen years earlier when a lot of emu sites were part of ztnet (Lev) group such as the old MAME.net web site (with Santeri S. aka "Gridle"), the forum on MAME.net might have 'devil's advocate' trolls posting with
"Please show how MAME is more than a free games program".
Back then link examples could have pointed to Guru's site as one example since Youtube and other media sites hadn't existed yet. I am sure there were many other examples back then, but maybe not as many blogs existed during the 2000 to 2010 years compared to these days.
Granted it might be time consuming, but MAMEdev.org site could show links to websites that provide examples such as what System11 is showing or better yet...get permission to archive System11's blog entry for future reference just to use that as an example whenever needing to bash in some "Devil's Advocate" troll poster.
