I'll tell you about my 286 running Windows 3.xx... Basically, it's a complete dog! I hate it. It's revolting. :-) Seriously, I agree with what you have to say about multitasking games - I like the few that do it for playing while doing something else, but for the real games like Stunt Car Racer, I am quite happy if they take over. Actually, what I really like is that on the Amiga 3000 (it's only a review machine damn it!) Stunt Car Racer doesn't multi-task - it just has a faster frame rate! Yeehar! P.S. How far have people got in Stunt Car Racer? I am quite proud that I have managed to get to Division 3 of the Super League... -- Official Signature for Sleeping Beagle (aka Thomas Farmer)!
