It gets like that, a flurry of activity followed by hibernation lol.
Glad to hear DosBox works in Win7, I will still be able to play my beloved Janes Longbow.

I am recovered enough to get your system to UPS...

Please tell me you did not buy one yourself yet.

I have $20,000 in hospital bills ( so far ) I won't be buying anything significant for a while, take your time and make sure you're ok. I had some bad back spasms at work tonight and I know it's only a fraction of what you have to go through at times.

Final hospital bill came in over the weekend and it alone is $348,000 :evil:

Odd to me is the fact that the pharmacy bill is almost as high as the month and a half of ICU.

Don't know yet, written so many checks already, seems to be running about %10 out of pocket. Going for an MRI tomorrow to see if I have to have my shoulders replaced due to the massive amount of steroids to keep my lungs working when I was in ICU.

I have my XP system to run FA and FAF on... Will not be using it for anything other than FA and personal FAF development...

But I can honestly say that Win 7 has driven the final nail into the coffin of FA...

Its basically a dead dog with the new video drivers coming out.
