Well they also had to write cleanly cause they can easily tromp around on
each others ram.  That in itself is why they have it so easy, no obstacles
in the way, so they easily make this stuff available.

Since both magic and MiNT are soft loaded it seems rebooting to play a game
or see a demo isn't so bad and it don't really upset either camp. To me
that's a happy medium, least path of resistance. ;-)
