You could have said that you bought it to begin with. Just last week some one
was whining that it was all right for him to pirate the converter, because, in
his opinion, it is illegal for the converter to be made at all. The logic of
this escapes a lot of us. I am sorry if I ruffled your feathers. As for being
bigoted: yes, I am bigoted against thieves and whiners. For that I do not
apologize. I would still suggest that the converter is worth it; I bought Nascar
3, just for the Indianapolis track, which is a lot of fun;  complete with the
three foot wide brick surface at the start-finish line.

For your info I bought it.

For your info outside of the US (which is not the only place in the world)
game rental is prohibitied and it is VERY hard for a french video game shop
to seel ANY nascar game, they are not even RELEASED in France.

For your info I use a regular phone line, 56 Kbps so downlodaing a demo to
get 1 track is not really good, we pay local phone calls here.

I don't want to buy it online and end up paying 42.99 $ of s&h for a 10$
game.

That's why I would like an open-minded, non-bigoted and non-republican to
help me on this issue.

Get all this in your Pat Buchanan like mind and gimme a break.

Et de toute facon je vois meme pas pourquoi j'ai a me justifier vis--vis de

Honestly, if somebody was asking me to do this I would send him what I have,
but maybe I am too stupid.

Thx anyway for your "moderated" answer (see up for a more "republican"
one...)

See also above for the reasons why I am asking this and not buying it.

So the original question returns - why would you buy a converter for tracks you
don't HAVE?  You don't want to buy the games that include the tracks, you don't
want to download the demo(s), it's not certain if anyone will send them to you.
 Sounds like a risky purchase...
But then again, I bought N3 and NL as soon as I did JUST for the tracks to
convert...<shrug>

Whoa, whoa, wait a frickin minute here.  You tellin' me you don't have
any qualms about paying 20 some-odd bucks for a converter, when you have
nothing to *get* converted in the first place & won't buy it either?
And then on top of that, you can't be bothered to download anything
either?  Sir, either you are full of baloney to your eyes or a bloomin'
moron.  So why did you buy the converter to begin with??  FYI-->a
handful of tracks sent via e-mail for you to convert is gonna take every
bit as long for you to download as any demo will.  Something is
stink-o-la here...

Baloney.  If your on-line time is as expensive as you say, then getting
a handful of tracks in your e-mail will cost you every bit as much as a
copy of NASCAR off of eBay.  Don't even try it....

Oh really. And here I was thinking your time was sooo precious that
couldn't possibly be arsed to bother. After all, why should YOU pay
phone bills so that someone else could benefit?

Sound familiar?

OK, forget I EVER asked what I wanted, I got it from somewhere else.

I got 20 tracks by DL for about 3 megs.

Thanks again for your HELP ha ha ha.
