Yeah, it helps. Specially if you're no good at gambling and don't have rich
relatives dying and leavin ya loads of moolah! Like me :-\ Nope, I hadda
wait till all the kids were up and out on their own first Jobs are nice,
good paying ones are nicer! Guess I'm sorta in the middle there on that
part.
BUT, I finally got me some *thing* that's actually cuttin edge. Yep, I'm a
tiny bit pleased with it

I hear ya.... I've tried it a bit, and only a small percentage of programs
work with it. I have a lot of stuff I rely on that just wont run. Nothing
wrong with 2 OS on the same computer though.... just make a partition for
each one.

Got that, but really want it on a seperate drive. It will expire and then
I'll have a useless partition.

or I could simply click this shortcut on my desktop....

"D:\Quake III Arena\quake3.exe" +timedemo 1 +demo four



I just did a timedemo with 7 other programs running and still got 281.1, not
too shabby for my old POS machine.
