Re: Greetings Tim
Man I swear a 386 could run, maybe solitaire, if you overclocked it.

Re: Greetings Tim
My 386 ran OS/2 and a bunch of other stuff. But it *was* a 386/40. 
Mike, any story about how Tim created Wages of War would be a great read for me. Tim's my hero for making that game.
Tim, I hope you aren't disappointed that I only played the tactical part of that game, not the business part.

Re: Greetings Tim
Hook, I had no idea Tim created "Wages of War". Being SpecOps indeed has it's perks!

Re: Greetings Tim
It's even more amazing considering the fact that he had to learn the programming skills first. I remember when the first land diagrams were being made, and the character identities were being created, and the turn-based code was being perfected.....in a 2 bedroom apt. in Greenville, SC. It was a lot for one person.
He had an idea, and it's brought him to where he is today.

I really thought you only had to pay taxes if the president you voted for was elected. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Laughs.....
That's what happens when you don't check in often enough.
And you thought you left the secrets behind....
