My box can't do much 3D either - I still haven't given up my old 8mb ATI. Not that I really care, since Civ2 and Freeciv are the only games I play. The dual P3 800EB's on a Epox D3VA mb and 384MB of PC133 RAM let me compile the Linux kernel pretty fast, though. And I can listen to MP3's, leave my GIMP session running, and post on Apolyton while the make crunches away without making my system lag like Q3A over a 28.8K connection.

First I must ask Yin to apologize me for what I will tell next. (Sorry Yin, I just can't resist the temptation to tell this  )
Troll, nice to read about the change for better.
Next I'll try to make Yin a lesser god by telling my memories of him to you.
Those of you who were surfing already when www.alphacentauri.com had it's own forums might still remember Yin at early days. I am not quite sure when Yin started to post, but what I do remember from the early days is that he was sharing his opinions. (I got in his line of fire once and intend not to get a second time, except this time ) Personally back then I disliked his writing style.
Then, I think it was Yin's idea, Yin organised a petition for Firaxis on five must important things that had to be corrected in the next bugfix of SMAC. I still don't know what then had happened to Yin, but I liked the change a lot. Even he's writing style became friendlier. (Care to explain Yin? )
When CivIII was announced, Yin was asked to organise a wish list and just look at what happened under his supervision? (500+ pages) So Yin has earned his position and respect the hard way, even mine, after a not so great beginning.
So Troll I'll be locking forward to reading your writing's.
And there is hope, ... even for people like us...
Yin: Hope I didn't upset you too much and PLEASE do remember to be extra careful with fireworks

LOL!
Well, of course Jeje2 has made tremendous additions to this and other forums, so I'll choose my words carefully. 
He is right, though. A few years ago I thought the only way to get people to listen to you on the Internet was to make a spectacle of yourself. Actually, I sort of assumed a the dark role of the guy who tries to keep the gaming company "in line."
Then I realized how much more satisfying (if not a whole lot more work) to try something more productive like bug/wish lists. So while I don't get much attention anymore (which is good, come to think of it), I'd like to think that I've played an important part in gathering useful feedback for Firaxis to consider.
Well, thanks for the memories, JeJe! Finally, Troll, I know what it's like to post inflammatory stuff...and then to seek redemption. =)
