Like you pointed out above, Origin drags the entire : industry with her, which in turn drag us along. As you or someone said earlier it is good that technology increases. : BTW, a 486DX/33 doesn't cut it anymore these days. 486DX2/66 VLB is : Origin's current standard format and she is already looking at DX4/100 : and Pentium for her future titles. Well if they want to do that, that's fine with me, it just means that I'll be a very long way behind when I upgrade my DX-50 in 2 or 3 years time, and Origin will have lost a customer for a couple of years. But look on the brightside, the games released now will be a lot cheaper in 2 or 3 years time when my system is good enough. -- .__________________________________________________________________________. |Internet: pfle...@scu.edu.au | | One hour from now WING COMMANDER 3 will be one hour closer to release | |__________________________________________________________________________|
