I am wondering on running time, after ending that game, i lost 2 hours of the day, but now i know, where i lost them. But an other crazy feature was, that my serial port got out of order and I need to reboot, to get my modem to work after playing that game, it seemed to work very hard in the system of my machine, but thats the price for fancy games or not ? ======================================================================== = Dieter Fritzsche | dieter@dischw.toppoint.de = = Freeheit 11 | BANG: ...!exhh!tpki!dieter = = 2318 Schwartbuck | Z-Net: HACKETAL@KBBS = = +49 4385 763 | R.s.H.: HACKETAL 2400 8,n,1 +49 431 522952 = ========================================================================
