rec.autos.simulators

So how many of us have installed a sim on our office computers, and how often
is it used?

The machine I have at work is my old P233 from home, I left ICR2 on it just for
grins. It sure is a *** to drive with a keyboard but I'd have a tough time
hiding a wheel on my desk!

I'd be surprised to see how many negative replies there are.  I have N2
installed on my old P233 at the office(where I am now, btw), and since I get
internet access through my job, my version here has every nifty patch and
carset I can find.  I spend about 5 hours a day on hold with insurance
companies, so I get plenty of track time.  I have even gotten used to
driving with the keyboard.

It's nice to work as an independent...

i'll be doing some wagering at lunch tomorrow with chums with a novice race at
spa. we crank it up, accelerate the qualifying, and retire at first opportunity.
then, we sit back and watch the ol' camera 1 view as beltoise slips farther and
farther behind...

the betting is the "lotuses" or the "field".

i'm taking the "field" tomorrow. i see dan gurney pulling off the upset.   ; - )

You mean, the 99% that didn't answer this get to race from home ?!? Guess
that explains it ;-). My job is 25% IT Director for a small retail chain,
75% Self-Directed ;-) computer system sales/installation & training to other
retail businesses. So here I am, "Required" to keep a*** of all
developments in the industry, hence so much on-line time :-). I do spend
many after-work hours in the office though also. I also must commute into
the office (14 miles) for all N2/TEN league events, so it has trade offs.
This way computer upgrades are welcomed by me, just sent my 233MMX to a
bookkeeper "down-the-line". Wonder who's gonna get this 300A/450 next year?
It's also great because I currently have 4 233+ workstations on the network
for N2 & SODA, maybe with a couple low-buck Voodoo's GPL too! I host some
late night LAN races that cost you a quarter if your the reason we have to
restart, eventual winner takes all :-)! Got room for 10 in the hub, but my
hardware/wheel & pedal budget just isn't THAT big! My DX4/100 at home runs
N1 ok for my wife (practice for on-line league wives race!) and my 3 and 4
year old dig it, but it's just not the same to me.

I have GP2 installed at school..... <g> :)
