-- People think it must be fun to be a genius, but they don't realise how
hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

Last year I spent over $700 US for a new computer (well, I would have spent
it anyway as my P2/333 died) designed for racing.  This year, I hope to keep
it under $400 (GeForce Ultra, some RAM and perhaps a soundcard to replace my
SB 64 AWE).

IF I hit a huge jackpot, I'd probably get a whole new computer from the
ground up: 1.5 Tbird, GeForce 3, 256 M ram, not sure which soundcard.  I'd
also get a new wheel combo.  Probably close to $3000 before I'd be done.  Oh,
and a laptop to run Excell to monitor setups and other data.

I'm certain that I'm not the biggest spender in pursuit of this hobby, but I
do what I can.  BTW, in 2 weeks I'll get my bonus check.  A significant
percentage will be going to feed my sim racing ***ion.

I sense that you are not married.
