The only thing i got to say about this is, Your right not everything has to be the latest and greatest. however, with the blind getting computers from orgs and other places. The op on that system is going to be the latest and greatest. Why< because that is what is new and that is what they get. So if you want your games to play on those computers. you better move up with the latest and greatest or quit. Dos is out and was in 96 when win95 made it the standard for computers. Some of those old ops had real power and very stable. But now we have to be real and use the tools and ops of now not yester year. its not a scare its really progress.
