<br />BUT YOU DO HAVE A CHOICE Col. Brewster...you can buy a garage sale PI, PII or PIII for about twenty bucks all in and find a corner to plug it in, play the game on it, save it to a disk and then walk over to your VISTA built-in obsolescence, expensive machine and email it...of course if your shiny new Vista monster does not come equipped with a floppy drive and your garage sale acquisition doesn't have a RW CD drive or USB port....then you DON 'T have a choice. Too bad...they are such great fun those old BG games to wit? more than ten years later we are still playing and enjoying them...think about that...I first played them on a 486 Win3.1 machine in the mid-90's...yet...I have Win95 and win98 games that truly are obsolete because no matter what I have tried they won't run under XP but even Chickamauga would do so with Rich Hamilton's patch...and yes I do know how to configure dos games for XP....when they are "configurable." The point here is that it is testament to the programming of the Talonsoft games and John Tiller's support of them years after they were supposed to be obsolete that we can still...as we speak...play them on an XP machine. I don't care how things have progressed, just because they are old dosen't mean tney are no good...I am old but I still work [:D] for now anyway. And I still watch black and white films from the 50's too. New is not always better, just different. [:(] And old is not bad, also just different. My favorite TV channel is TCM the Turner Movie Classics and the films are great...old but great...too bad our wargame classics can not be so well revered and preserved.

Not too bad.
I have no choice to repurchase due to having Vista.
