Jason,
Thanks for the heads up on the two games. Now I'll warn everyone else
on the list that getting Fish Fillets is a royal pain, and if they want
to try it (assuming they *have* a 'Doze system) they should contact me
so I can set up a direct d/l URL for them from my shell account. I
spent what felt like forever staring at a screen telling me I should pay
$6.95 a month for "Mercury Downloads" so that I could get them at faster
than the capped 500Kbs. Imagine what it's like to have high speed
service and have to wait for those speed to download 275MBytes of file.
I hope it is worth the effort!! <G>
I found Enigma! far more easily; CNet doesn't cap download speeds
either. (Warning: this is *not* Enigma:Rising Tide)
Now I'm off to get some lunch started (had b'fast about midnight) and
will work on installing the games while the beans & ham are heating.
l.d.
P.S. Review may follow later
P.P.S. Found a link on "How Do I Remove..." for the files that
alledgedly are part of XP itself. I carefully copied the instructions
to an offline file, and start to follow the step-by-step given. Only
one problem: Neither of the choices, given by M$Nidiots as to where/how
to uninstall, exist on my system. Don't you just LUV Windoze???!! NOT!!

I have similar experiences with linux and windows. I'll complain about
how something is annoying in linux(the system I use for all my personal
use). Then I'll have the occasion to do the same kind of thing in
winxp. Most often than not I end up thinking, "Maybe it wasn't so bad
in linux after all." :)
To be fair, the blame is shared between windows itself and software
developers.
Having said that, I think it's fair to point out specific parts of a
good program that you'd like to see improved.
Can't afford to buy logic type games? Have you tried fish fillets and
enigma? They're both free for the downloading and pretty good.
