Yea. It feels good in here. Have to stay away from those computer games. They are one of my many addictions. And I always buy the ones that takes weeks to complete. Can't leave a game with Europe only partially conquered.

You think you have it hard? I have this major soft spot for clunky old DOS games that not only take weeks to play but take weeks to figure out how to get running under XP and still manage to hard crash the system every 30 minutes.

Hey Daveshayne:

Maybe that is part of the game. You have to figure out how not to crash.

Sounds like my place of work.

Our computer techs send an Email telling us they are going to do a minor correction or upgrade in the system and the next thing you know CRASH.

Gotta love the them.

I keep telling myself that but realistically I think crashing every 30 minutes while playing fun old games is hard coded into XP. How else can they sell new games than to disable old ones.

You have a good point. They can send a patch through to everyone who registered with a game and get it to do anything they want.

We could be crawling through a tunnel to escape goblins one minute and find ourselves knitting cunning Jayne caps the next.

Actually I think when the create an upgrade the new system is designed to send old software into a dark hole.

I have two games from the same software company and neither work when I install both of them. I have to uninstall one in order to play the other. Does that make sense.

It's so hard finding a decent knitting sim these days. It's all first person crochet and real time tatting.

No, but it doesn't surprise me any. Besides making sense isn't something we do around here. Whibble.
