Tru it ain't cheap but it's the best around at the moment . Why would you
spend huge amounst of cash on a shiny new high speed system and lumber it
with on old operating system just to save a few pennies. Really you should
always run an operating system that is contemorary your hardware. i.e on an
6 year old p1 stick to windows 95 and with a new p4 use xp. There again
windows 3.11 really flies on a 2gig p4 ;-)

Hi Tim,

I just upgraded my *** rig to a shiny new Athlon on a shiny
new ECS mobo. Win98SE runs fine on this combo, no need to
register, no need to accept yet another even more stupid EULA,
and best of all, no need to spend 10,000's of pennies on MS tax.

If I want a new operating system on this box I'll go for Linux,
but your mileage may vary. It's a *** only box anyway, all
my productive stuff is secure on the Linux box sitting next to
it ;-)

Unless you use really new hardware that doesn't come with "old"
drivers for 9x systems (don't know if something like that even
exists), I see no reason at all to run XP, even less to spend
money on it. But again, YMMV.

Bye for now & happy racing,

uwe

  Atari800?  Please...:)
I had a Commodore 64 with two disk drives, the second was rewired so I could
run both simultaenously.(I can't remember why I had to do that, but I
connected a wire to the circuit board and then to a switch I installed in
the case...)  (a working memory would be a wonderful thing to have)
If I tried that trick these days I would probably melt down the entire power
grid for my neighborhood.  Me and tools no longer like each other.   I was
making laser printed newsletters with GEOS before even Apple knew what a GUI
was. .
  THEN after the C-64 came the real machine...Yes I was an Amiganaut.  A500
with an extra half meg of ram.  Multi-tasking, built in stereo sound,  a Ram
disk,  I was flying a full color semi-dynamic Real time campaign via Falcon:
Operation Fighting Tiger(or some such name) before there was even a stick
drawn Falcon AT.
   Atari 800?  naw...they were the dark side.
     At this point in time,  OS 9 wasn't even on the drawing boards....  :)

I'm with you there. I went for the Amiga route too after my
Dragon days... fabulous machine to have (I still own three;
A500, A500+ and a A1200) Aztec C + Assembler all the way, baby.
Great stuff! AREXX (send email from CygnusEd via VLT by the
single press of a button? Sure! ;-), Blitter, Copper, ach I
loved it. I still dream of setting up a friends abandonded
A4000 one of these days... Speedball. Kick Off II, Sensible
Soccer, MechForce. What fun we had!

Wrong! OS9 was out and about long before. It's not OS/2 I'm
talking about.

On topic: does anyone know if a Linux version of RFL is
planned? ;-)

Cheers,

uwe

I missed the starting thread, but I was on the sunny side: I had an Amiga
1000 and than an 2000 with (no joke) 9 MB Ram!!!! The DOS-people had just 64
up to max 640, hehe. They said to me, if I told this, I must have made an
error, I would mean 90 Kb, hehe. We worked close with Commodore Marketing
and we all tried to make the 2000 THE graphics machine. This was some years
before Apple Macintosh hit it! But Commodore didn't do anything in the
direction of us professional graphic users , only warm air, as we say in
Germany! So we sold our Amigas, bought some HPs and started with Xerox
Ventura Publisher in a beta!!! I think, noone knows this yet, hehe. And
after some years, we switched to Apple and stayed there until now, rather
happy, with the only problem, that GPL isn't running on it!

Yesterday, I remembered playing EA's F1 2002 that one of my first games was
a very very great EA game on the Amiga: I don't remember the name, you had
to roll a ball throug different 3d-structures and the graphics were (for
that time) superb. (Yesterday, I had the name of the game, ....the
age...;-)))

Maybe, I find the disk (720KB, isn't it)

 Yesterday, I remembered playing EA's F1 2002 that one of my first games was
  it was kinda a 3/4 perspective...like a half a pyramid with the top near
the upper left, and the bottom near the lower right....(But what was the
name???  dunno)
    EA was the first game company to FAKE an electric guitar sound that
didn't sound like cheesy toy guitars.

This didn't stop me to build my father a system based on this board, since he
needs a reliable workhorse and no peek performance.
