Ahahahaha! Seriously, where do they find these tech support people?

Heh, You've gotta watch out for The Windows XP!

I also hate those Indians that work tech support. Is it hard to find those that are actually fluent in written English? Even British-style English? That's almost a Hindi translation to English, ffs.

I might buy the pack and see what its like on Win7 with Compatabilitiy mode.
Incidentally - I bought this, but i keep getting the startup message. Something like: You have not yet started the game, please go through and set up the game config. It's really obnoxious, but oh well.

Work harder. Alternatively, rip+upload the ISOs and I'll try it when my new laptop gets here. And then we can all play!

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

In The Old New Thing, Raymond Chen outlined a lot of problems that Microsoft had with DOS game publishers offering bad support for games because they typically last only about 3 months, and since a lot of companies didn't follow the DPMI spec very well, then when things like memory protection were introduced with Windows 95, it caused a problem.

I also wrote about similar requirements for updates to Vista that impacted WoW's ability to update itself.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Our species really annoys me.

ISO*. The anthology is pretty sweet. NoCD cracks built in, etc. That alone makes it way better than downloading BG2 ISOs and mounting/burning them. Not really sure how Atari did it, but hey.

Also, widescreen mod is fucking boss.
