Heh.  Well, they didn't go out of business when they started releasing games
that you need a 486 to run well - like Ultima 7, Strike Commander, Privateer,
etc. - leaving 386 owners (like myself at the time) in the dust.  And
frankly, a CD-ROM drive is a heck of a lot cheaper these days than a new CPU
or motherboard...

So off-hand I'd suspect Origin doesn't have too much to worry about, on that
note...
