Which is probably what Bill is working on at the moment.

I hate to think what windows is doing while you are online at the moment. What will it be like over the next few versions?

Hopefully going mad trying to keep up with all the postings I'm making.

I think it must do some stuff without you knowing about it.

I don't really care, it's not my computer

Well this one is mine, which can sometimes be worrying.

Crash is appropriate since we're talking about windows

so true
but I don't think that i can switch to linux as my fave games are run under windows and not linux

And which games would those be?

I'm a complete addict to computer games.

It's going to take a while before the games get around to running on anything. Linux just isn't widely used enough. Pity.

But its one of the fastest growing. And it runs on normal PC's too.

aoe, cII, gfandgo, ta, dk

Would you kindly repeat that.

okay

aoe, cII, gfandgo, ta, dk

is that any clearer then?

In a word, no.

age of empires
civ 2
dungeon keeper
grim fandango
total annhilation

I've got Civ2, Total Annhilation and Dungeon Keeper. If you really like Civ2 get Alpha Centauri, its even better.

i really like aoe, i am thinking about getting the new one when the price goes donw a bit & i have more time to paly games

I've not played Age of Empires. Although it looks like the type of game I would like. I'v got loads already and don't have the money to buy more at the moment.

Had all but Grim Fandango and Alpha Centauri.

I used to play Command & Conquer a lot and the occasional game of Sim City 2000.

Note to Menza, Age of Empires is made by Microsoft.
