That's so funny! Hey...I might actually have my old games too. If you keep "egg-ing" me on like this, I might have to just go up to my mom's and retrieve it out of the closet and start messing with it again.

I still have many of the old MSDOS games. You know the ones on 5" disk or 3" disk.

I didn't vote, but you really want the heaviest one, as it will make the best anchor!

The apple IIc was my first computer. I remember being dismayed when my games didn't work on my next computer, a 386. "But...they're...both floppy disks."

The best option isn't present, the IBM clone that you build yourself. That's where my vote lies. Even with this used to be a Dell PC I have now, the crashes that people talk about with software other than games, I have not experienced. Even before I jumped this system up to past what it's supposed to be able to do. I don't recall XP crashing me out of any other applications, and I've played NWN's for 12 hours at a time, with no crashes. In all fairness, however, I will say that NWN's is the only application that XP has kicked me out of.
