(Just as well you weren't around in the DOS days!)
What makes you think I wasn't?
I had very little trouble configuring my equipment to run Falcon 3.0 (and if
*you've* been around long enough, then you'll know what that entailed and
what it implies), and that's as far as I'm going in this pissing contest.
Jerry Morelock
That doesn't necessarily imply that was where I started, but if you were
rousing mightily in the late 70's, computer-wise, then I'll concede you have
me there.
Spending that much time in front of that era's poorly-shielded CRTs
obviously explains the presumptious statement you made regarding my DOS
familiarity, though. I do hope you get well soon.
Jerry Morelock
CRTs? Hah! You're both a couple of young wussies. I used to sim when the
only output device I had on the IBM/360 was a Selectric ball typwriter.
We're talking frames per HOUR here and SERIOUSLY low res.

Good game though, still playing it.

'84, huh? In that case about the only thing you have over me is your
rampant senility, which you're welcome to keep all to yourself,
thankyouverymuch!

Don't you have to deal with cold tires on the first lap? Of COURSE that will
affect your braking point in the first corner... You have to brake a bit
earlier than you were during a hotlap with low fuel. The problem with most
sims is that the AI aren't affected by cold tires, and still use their normal
brake points.
