{Laughs} I started oin an IBM PCjr 8088.  People were showing off their
386's when I got the machine.  I think the best machine I had for years was=

a 486, and I finally got a really old pentium someone tossed.  Not a lot of=

money for software.  If I'm supposed to ladel out a ton of money for
software, I'd want it to be something I really enjoy.  Trainz comes to mind=

right away.  Open TTD, but, that's freeware.

I've been coding in QB for years.  I've always wanted to learn something=

new, but every time I tried, I was told that to learn, say, C, I had to
learn super sophiisticated FOIL and stuff.  I was also told that I needed t=
o
understand super abstract stuff, and since my coding is focused more on app=
s
and simple games {I wanna' write a remake of OMF2097, which is the best
fighting game ever, because rather than give you hundreds of thousands of=

fighters to choose from, they allowed you to configure your own}, I never=

really needed anything else.  Then I went to send a friend a game I wrote,=

and they couldn't run it.  Mebbe it's time for a change? {Giggles}
