Question for Technician:

from Stardock Forums
Here it is:

"Dude. What is UP, man?!"

I don't begrudge anyone their talents for the game, and in fact am highly admiring of anyone who can put in the time and study to excel at anything in life, but this guy is pumping out two or three gigantic/maso victories PER DAY for the past, what... half year or so? What is UP?

Other questions are:

1. How long does each one generally take?
2. How does it not get boring doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again? (At least, when you look at the game record, it looks somewhat repetitive... maybe each of the games is a new, exciting adventure, I dunno.)

I'm afraid this message will sound accusatory, trust me that I don't mean it to. I'm just curious how (and why!) he does it.

I mean, even on Large, the only games I've played which took less than three or four hours were ones that I lost quickly (and there were a LOT of them, don't you worry!)

Is this just a ONE-MAN GC WRECKING CREW or what?

(If this has been discussed before, just point the way. I did a search but failed at finding anything.)

I was very fond of OS/2 and GC for OS/2. I had them both.

Unfortunately I don't have them anymore - but OS2 is still in my name! ;)

Anyone still have OS/2 on their machines? Duel boot mode?
End of quote


I was dual booting up until about a year ago, when my mobo died and I chose to upgrade to some components that my old OS/2 didn't have drivers for. I had Object Desktop for OS/2 too.

I wonder want happened to OS/2 ?

Who owns the code ?

I heard rumours back when IBM dropped the ball on OS/2 that it maybe made public domain.

Sigh the OS/2 days...

I remember walking into computer stores asking for OS/2 software and getting looks like I had the plague.

I remember OS/2 demos at the computer shows.

I remember the OS/2 user group I was a member of.

It was because of OS/2 I heard of Stardock and GC in the first place.

I remember that there were 5 of us in the embedded software department that used OS/2. Many of the features that were in that OS were far in advance of anything microsoft had.

Shortly after Windows 95 came out the entire company switched to 95 and we were forced to abandon OS/2.

Sad day!
