Wahoooooo.!!!

Git the flags oot.

Hey, here's a poser....is R.A.S. going to have a party on the
28th of next month...or will it be a wake.?

Me...I'm counting the days and saving me pennies...not only to
BUY the game - the thought of my hard earned cash going into Mr
Crammond's pocket gives me a warm feeling of simulator
companionship..but to also upgrade me machine.

Figure I'm gonna need a new jaloppy...

Erm...along with new vid card, bigger monitor (using 14" at mo)
and a FF wheel.

Hmmm.

***.

Looks like the missus isn't going to Skegness this summer.

Well, seeing as it's gone gold, I'm just gonna place an order now.
Actually no, I'll reserve it at the local EB so I can go down to the shop
and pick it up :)

Dave,

On the 28th July as the clock strikes 9am, 99.9% of the fun has
just got to be walking into your nearest Sim store..going up to
the counter, opening your wallet, either flashing the plastic or
plonking three 10 notes (?)on the counter and with a deep
breath saying:

"I'll have Grand Prix 3 please."

Think of the adrenaline rush as the assistant goes in the
stockroom and comes back out with a GP3 box all wrapped and
sealed in shiny er....clingfilm.

"Ta very much"

Then you try to look so cool as you walk casually out of the
shop only to run like *** when nobody can see you.

You get home breathless, switch on the computer, rip(?)open the
packing, stick the cd in the drive, install it and...nothing
happens.

Suddenly..up pops a screen.

"Mr Crammond regrets to inform you that your computer isn't fast
enough to run GP3 - please return the game to your dealer or buy
a faster ***y rig."

Aggggggggggggggh.!!!

Its gonna happen to me fer sure.

Ian.

well, I was kinda worried about this, so I upgraded a couple of weeks ago.

128 Mb Ram
V3 3000

Hopefully all should be well :)

Of course I may need to get a V5 5500 soon to do the gfx justice.
We shall see (of course a warez preview will answer all these questions
before July 28th)

Geez Dave...

Do you print money fer a living.???

For yours truly santy's a long way off.

Bummer.

Hey....I wonder if he's gonna include a vga option ala GP2.

Now thats gonna make my crashes and flying display look really
spectacular...raindrops the size of bricks as well.

Actually...that sounds like a lot of fun.

Beats worrying aboot the frame rate.

Guess for me, GP3 is going to look like lego.

You actually wait to get home to open the box?!?

I usually have the manual half read by the time I've driven home.

.....and says, "I'm sorry but we're all sold out.  We should be getting
some more in about 2 weeks from now."
Then he'll look on in pity as he watches a grown man break down a & sob
like a baby in front of the whole world!

Yep.  I can just see it coming.... <g>

Actually, I've had the V3 for ages, and the P3 600 was 200, but I sold my
P2 400 for 50.
Already had the ram.

Hey, Chuck - what store are you going to?  It's gotta be an EB somewhere, to

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you

ROTFL!

Probably me, too.  I only have a K6/3 400.  I'm considering a new system and a
19" monitor.  Unfortunately, I can't find anyone willing to donate to such a
worthy cause... :(
BTW, do you write for a living?  If not, you *should*...

I'll be getting it at the EB at Fairlane Town Center in Dearborn.  Only
place around here I know of that will accept returns.  Not that I'm
certain I'll be wanting to, mind you.

I'm sure I'll like the PROGRAM enough to keep it.  It just depends on if my
computer will be fast enough.  If I don't get another processor, I'm afraid it
won't be...
