I am glad you had a good drive Derek, I too drive when I am stressed out, problem is, I don't do it enough anymore since getting married. You reminded me of this today, Thank You. I too miss my machine when we go away, even for a few days. I keep wanting a laptop, but she tells me if I get one, and bring it, and I Quote, "Look forward to a single life again."

Yea, I also dislike AT&T. If you AT&T Broadband Subscribers think you have it bad now, just wait, and get a load of this. I currently have a friend at work that switched from DSL to AT&T. Surfice to say, he still isn't right from the @Home change over, and is ready to call Verizon up again. He has yet to get in contact with Tech support, and just sent them another Email. This time he gave them 2 days to respond, if not, he's jumping ship. He too has already dumped Long Distance, next will be Broadband, and Cable. [ 12-17-2001: Message edited by: GREG MILLER ]

I can't believe what I am seeing this morning. The last 2 years in this community have been a blast for me. I have found my way to this community because I loved the game, and the people here have always been great, even made a few friends. Derek, I have always respected the fact that this is your world. If you indeed close the place down, I just wanted to say Thanks for the memories, as this is truely a unique place. Cmdr Miller signing off.

If this is how it has to be, Godspeed to you Blades. I will do my best to keep her afloat. You are, and always will be my friend. *Cmdr Miller Salutes FC Blades*

Congratulations $ilk, enjoy them kids while you can, they always seem to grow up quick.

Hamblin did this to himself, as he had no right to say what he did on a public posting board. That was just uncalled for. Cmdr Nova, this isn't so bad, we will recover. Just remember, someone may be the greastest at something, but in reality, when they bite the hand that feeds them, they become nothing..... Me, I will just pick up the pieces and keep going.

I don't know if any of you know this, but 3dfx, did not include support for AGP Textures in any of its products. This, plus nonexistant driver support, may be why some newer games are having graphical proplems with Voodoo cards.

Thanks here as well Derek, as I to was surprised to see that list.

After I saw the title of this thread, I didn't notice you posted it at first. My immeadiate thought was, "Somebody is in for a world of hurt!". But then I noticed Derek posted it. Oh well, so much for the pending entertainment.

Well, as the old saying goes, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." Once a dog, always a dog.

So you think you are mad huh? I can relate, as my wife thought I lost it loooong ago. Must have something to do with the BC Syndrome. And yes, I to got a new system that I had to pull teeth to get. Enjoy that box, and must say myself, computing with 512mb of ram is a dream.

On my way to the cafeteria today, I had been thinking about future system requirements for software. Now the puzzling aspect in all of this is the Pentium 4 vs the Athlon processor. We all know that the P4, and Athlon are now 2 totally different processors that do the same job. And we all know that at the SAME Mhz level, the Athlon does more work per clock tick than the P4. (funny how this item gets lost when comparing the 2 ) So when figuring the above statement, are the specs going to read something like this: Required: 1.4ghz Pentium Cpu or 1ghz Athlon Processor or are they just going to read along the lines as: Required: 1.4ghz Pentium Cpu Processor Ofcourse the later will mean that Athlon users will just have to know that their lower clocked CPU's will be more than sufficient. In todays industry, I am banking on just the P4 listing, as Intel is the defacto standard; but you never know what the future holds, and things have been known to change. Tell me your thoughts on this?

This should do it.

Sig Test.

Cmdr Miller got a GF3!!!! That is right folks. Stopped on my way to work today. Got to the North Hills Pittsburgh Best Buy around 6:40am, and the line was already several hundred people long. After seeing all the people ahead of me, I really didn't think I would have a chance. When I got into the store at 7:05, I made a bee line to the Video Card shelf, as this was my only intended purchase. As I rounded the corner and started eyeing up the shelf, it was empty. But just then, somebody reached for the top self, and my eye followed his hand. Sitting on the top was 2 Visiontek boxes. He grabed the one on the left, glanced at it, and walked away without taking it. So as I was standing there, looking at the shelfs for a misplaced one, I looked up at the one on the right and wouldn't you know it. The LAST Geforce3 Ti200 was mine for the taking, and to the cash register I went. Left the store and made to work on time, with lots a minutes to spare. The box on the left must have contained a GF2, I don't know, didn't care to know. Akira, I hope you made out just as good as I did. This purchase now qualifies my new rig as being "BCM Capable", one month ahead of schedule, and I couldn't be happier! Now the icing on the cake would be if my copy of BCM would arrive in the mail today. EDIT: I just called my wife, (Who is home today) and asked her if a "package" came for me today. This is the response I got: "Maybe it did, maybe it didn't. You will just have to find out when you get home." Arrgghhh!!! How can that Sim loving woman be so damn cruel to me today???? Damn, I am now in agony. I got the Vidcard, and I am assuming I got the game; but I am stuck here at work till 4:30pm est. All I want to do is go home, do a little open box surgery on my machine, and enjoy the sites of BCM. Is that too much to ask??? [ 11-23-2001: Message edited by: GREG MILLER ]

I too have been putting together a new rig. After a guick stop to Best Buy, it is now BCM ready; one month ahead of schedule. The complete machine should be done by the end of Fedruary.

Same to you Derek. I have to say, I have now been a part of this community now for 2 years, and has been a great joy in my life. I have never know a game to be so vast, and enjoyable till my BC3K came along. May you have many great returns for all the hard work you do. Thanks to you Derek.

Rumor has it, that in tomorrow's (Thursday) paper, The Bestbuy flier with have the Visiontek Geforce3 Ti200 card included in the "After Thanksgiving" sale for $99. That would be $199.99 - $50 Instant Rebate - $50 Mail-in Rebate = $99.99 Also the Western Digital 60gb 5400rpm HDD, Final price after rebates = $49.99 I have yet to confirm if this is actually true or not, and if it is, I don't know if it is a 2 day sale, or a 5 hour sale. Hopefully this is a 2 day sale which means that after work on Friday, I am heading to Bestbuy. If it is only a 5 hour sale, I just may have to come to work a little late on Friday. So grab the paper tomorrow and check it out for yourself.

If you do create MP3's, make sure you turn off any copy protection options your MP3 creator uses. I had a problem beta testing when I created my MP3's with Real Jukebox, and they wouldn't play in BCM. After I turned off the copy protection, and recreated them, everything went smoothly. Have fun.

That's the Spirit, Cadet! However, before you graduate, I suggest you study a little harder for the spelling bee. [ 11-20-2001: Message edited by: GREG MILLER ]
