I'm running on a 17" Powerbook, 1.33 ghz. Once I upgraded from 512 to a gig of ram the game has run great for me. I could play it ok before, but now it just runs smooth. The griffin rides aren't slideshows anymore. :) Purple

Just wanted to stop in (been playing WoW since early December and haven't done much of anything else except for sleep and work) and say hey to everyone. I'm a member of The Twilight Order, which is a guild formed from the RPG.net boards. Not many higher levels yet, but we're starting to grow...

I use Mozilla and have been very happy with it. One of these days I'll give Firefox a try, but I'm ok without it for now. I can't seem to figure out how to get my bookmarks from Mozilla to Safari, so that's right out, for me. Lee

So, I re-read this and think, hey, today is the 27th. Wonder what it says on Amazon, as I haven't gotten an e-mail about shipping. Mine shipped yesterday! Hoody-Hoo! Lee

So, have you actually recieved it, or did you just get an e-mail. :) I sent an e-mail to Amazon, got a reply with a $10 off next order thing, and an updated shipping date of Oct 27, with no real hope that it will ship by then. Give me hope. :) Lee

And, apparently, it's already available in some places. :\ http://games.slashdot.org/games/04/10/14/125237.shtml?tid=211&tid=127

I picked it up (largely based on the PA review, and the fact that it was only $20), and gave it a shot this weekend. It's...hard to describe. I've never really played anything like it. I've only played about 5 or 6 missions, and I only had to replay one of them (they are all, so far...

I don't know if this makes me sad or not, but you are thinking of Dragon #137, from September of 1988. I just walked upstairs and pulled it out of the bookshelf, as I remember it well, being one of the first issues I purchased. Anyway, the character was a 358th level magic-user named Waldorf...

From his post on 6/15/04 I'm really hoping that is the case, as I've been waiting for this for a while too. Lee

I read a lot on my Zodiac, usually 2-3 books a week while I'm at work. I think I have something like 175 e-books on there right now. I like the Zodiac because the screen is wider than it is tall (480x320), and I've gotten very comfortable with reading that way now that I've done it for a...

I'll probably pick up RotK and Buffy season 6, but will watch Buffy first, probably within the week. Maybe watch the whole LotR trilogy over the weekend, though. Lee

Yup, I got that one and installed it. I found a message on the yahoo group about how to upgrade the version, but I cannot figure out how to get the new datasets to enter. I've tried copying the 3.5 dataset from the 5.5.3 patch, but cannot get them to load. Any ideas? Lee

So, I finally went out and got my new computer, a 17" Powerbook. I'm trying to figure out how to install (among other things) PCGen so that I can get a few characters worked up. After much looking around I found the OS X install package, and installed it. This seems to work ok, but it does...

If you buy Hell's Faire from the Baen website webscription, you can download the CD .iso file (about 400MB) and extract the game from there. I just downloaded it and glanced through the included RPG. I didn't read much, but it has information on playing most of the races in the books, and a...

As with most here, I've enjoyed Turtledove. I just finished Ruled Britannia, which was very good. Not as many viewpoint characters as his other, longer books, such as te Darkness series (WWII in fantasy). The Lost Regiment, by William Forstchen, is a story of an American Civil War regiment...
