Um, tell you what, you come over and find a way to organize my ~1000
floppy disks in a way that makes that game as convenient to find and
load as six mouse clicks to open the Play: window, the individual game
window, and start the game, and I'll start listening to you. It's
nuisance enough digging throughthe bales of packaging for the code
wheels, manual, and other cute off disk copy protection; I'd much prefer
to run cracked copies just to have the game come up without all the
dithering around in the little time slice I've found between other uses
of my computer to play a game. That's why almost all my game playing is
restricted to HD loaded, non-copy protected, multitasking games; sad
that's less than 5% of the ones I paid hard cash to buy, but the vendors
or programmers chose to make the others unpleasent to use.

Kent, the man from xanth.
