You have no idea. Without the ability to be backed up or even slightly repaired, most Jaguar owners handle their discs with such care you would think they are handling plutonium. I had a booth at CGExpo this last August and it was somewhat humorous to watch how long it took a die-hard Jag owner to gingerly put a CD in (usually a *minimum* of 15-20 seconds). -- Jim Leonard ([email protected]) http://www.oldskool.org/ Want to help an ambitious games project? http://www.mobygames.com/ Or check out some trippy MindCandy at http://www.mindcandydvd.com/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
