No, no, not really. Back when 9.0 came out, I pretty much did a lot of stupid things. I had this massive desire to have the latest version of everything. I would upgrade for the sake of upgrading to get a higher number, not because there was any benefit in doing so. Thankfully, that desire has slowed down greatly, mainly because I'm far busier than I was before (I haven't touched Hotline in months)... Back when 9.0 came out, I was running a 7200/75, with 48 megs of RAM. If I was smart, I would NOT have upgraded ;) 9.0 was rather sluggish on that old box... [On a rereading of the above, the phrase came out a bit wrong. I make it sound like I pirated things *because* they were useless. That, of course, is wrong. I meant to say something to the effect of "9.0 didn't seem worth the cost of paying for it, thus pirating was the way to solve my must-have-later-version addiction"]... -- Morbus Iff ( i am your scary godmother ) http://www.disobey.com/ && http://www.gamegrene.com/ please me: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/wishlist/25USVJDH68554 icq: 2927491 / aim: akaMorbus / yahoo: morbus_iff / jabber.org: morbus
