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! -don "To race is to live, everything else is just waiting." - Rudi Caracciola

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... >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.

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. ; - ) j

>So how many of us have installed a sim on our office computers, and how often >is it used? 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. Happy Lappin', Wade Tschida
