The price of progress. If you want to play the new games requiring more processing power -- upgrade your hardware. If you're not bothered, just keep playing your old games and keep your machine.

The Amiga situation would have been just the same if people had actually kept developing software for it. -- ===================================================================== Stefan Boberg boberg@team17.com So many idiots, so few comets
