Maze is a screensaver...
 

Maze is a screensaver for win95+

That's what I mean!

For my post?
 

Win95+ meens windows 95 edition and up through XP

27, and my first computer was a Heathkit H-89 running CP/M.

Now, I'm trying to convince my wife to allow me to build a couple of new machines for home... as well as run a T-1 into the house so I can host my own server. ;d

Oh... and I played the original overhead-looking sort-of-sideways Castle Wolfenstein on my Commodore 64. Pre-Wolf 3D.

How much does a T1 run? I thought it goes for like 10g's a month. That s what we were paying at a small college here in NJ. And where abouts in NJ are you? I'm in northern NJ.....

Hi Dark Lotus,

T1 is the measure of the speed of the connection, not the amount of data transferred over a month. T1 is 1.544 mbps. T3 is 45 Mbps. Your monthly limit is generally whatever the user pays the carrier for. T1 should be fast enough to host a decent multiplayer game of BF1942.

Have fun

:cya: :cya: :cya:

I'm in Somerset county, Lotus.

Apocalypse, he was referring to cost. "10gs a month" = $10,000/month.

Actually, from several "local providers" here in Somerset (though the copper is still owned by Verizon), you can get a full T-1 for around $1,000/month. My business is debating upgrading from an IDSL line to fractional T-1 service (768kbps throughput) for $590 or so per month through speakeasy.net.

And yes, a T-1 puts through 1.544Mbps... which is more than fast enough, barring latency issues upstream, for hosting a decent sized server.

Surprising
 

It's kind of surprising to me seeing that majority of gamers who voted at 16-25. When I'm playing I usually find that most of the people on the server I play in are in their mid 30's and 40's.

Oh, right!

Sorry I'm in Australia, we don't use that term ever, only see it in movies and stuff so it didn't click.

10-15 thousand a month should get you T3 depending on your provider. You should be able to get a limited T1 connection for 1,000 a month. I think the 10,000 is probably for unlimited data as well as the T1 speed. You can move a lot of data in a month using a T1 :lol:

And that's an interesting point IJTF_Avenger. What you may find though is that the age range we are getting here is more likely the age group that uses online forums, discussion groups and chat rooms than the age group that plays games. So consider the age group that uses these forum to be biased in favour of the younger game players. Except ppl like me that is :lol:

:cya: :cya: :cya:

I live in Camden County

The $1,000 price quote was no usage cap. Speakeasy.net doesn't put usage caps on their lines (thankfully). But since that's not money I have to spare at the moment despite two fairly healthy salaries coming into the home, you can imagine that the wife nixed it. Though if I could justify it by splitting the cost with other people...

I wish I could drop $10K a month on something as frivolous as a T3 line for a gaming server. It would mean I would be able to help resolve world hunger. And buy myself a kick-tush game system, since my current rig isn't what one would call top-of-the-line.

Off-topic rant... what the heck is Gates *doing* with all his money? What's the use in *having* that much?

He just wants to brag to his pitiful amount of "friends" that he is richer than all the countries in the United Nations combined...

I'm in Passiac Co. Not the ghetto part of it, the part that borders NY State. I meant g as in grand and I also added an extra zero to that; woops. Anyway, I can't see a good enough reason to have a T1 for a house. With that 1 thousand a month, I'd rather buy a Kia Sephia and drive it into my lake. That would be alot more fun.

29 here folks...and my first computer...Apple Macintoshh IISE!!! And yes, that ran the original Castle Wolfenstein game too!!

damn in only 20, and all you old heads stay whippin my ass everynight lol

:fistpunch: :fistpunch:

36 (37 later this year)...1st comp was a Commodore 64...I think us old folks love playin' now because we know how bad it used to be (but it was still just as much fun)! I can't get over how great these games are today...

BTW, hi folks, new here, love the game

Im 31 and getting younger by the day:dance: :smokin:

yeah smart thinkin m8 :p hehe, all the time for ur self and ur "pc":beer:

32
first computer TRS 80 (Radio Shack) used a tape player to load my games...
:smokin:

I remember when I was like 8 having a pc that was run with a cassette tape... is that true?

...don't know if this has been posted before....

ow, that sucks

Amazing right? that was the price of a cheap car then....

$8,499 was not the price of a "cheap" car... you could buy a very *good* car for that in '89.

Note the fine print: Monitor and mouse not included!

Yeah that sucks aye, the damn retailers always do that so they can get a few hundred dollars off the advertised price, then when you open the box you realise you aint got a monitor and you gotta go back and give them another $3,000 for a monitor :lol: :lol: and probably $300 for a mouse, lifes sucks big time :mad:

:lol: :cya: :lol: :cya:

Where in NJ are you? How's the 2ft of snow doing for ya?

lol..fresh, you are a kid =P :deal:

22 inches of white stuff here in Somerset County. Pleasant as long as you don't have to drive with the folks who don't know how to drive on it.

(I grew up on the CT shore, so this was regular snowfall for me... noone down here seems to have a clue.)

im 13, and my 14th birthday is tommorrow. I've got to be the youngest clan leader in the world!

I'm in Passiac County, on the NJ/NYS border... We got 26". I think our state doesn't know how to drive, whether weather (hehe) is a factor or not....

i hate u lotus, lololol im in NC, we didn't get any snow:mad:

It's cool and all, but when you don't have a place to put it, it becomes quite frustrating. :uhm:

34 here. I'm at the age where I'm not too young and not too old for anything yet!:naughty:

Love the smilies here!

I'm 35.

Many old bearded bitches in this game LOL!

I dunno bout that age thing
 

<KC>THETOX
I dunno what your talking about man. Not to seem like a big head or nothing but everytime I play now i always score top in the game and if not always the top 5. Everyone I play that usually come close are also around my age 16. I could be wrong. See ya fellas on fields.
Watch out u just might have been Neural Intoxicated by the THE TOX.
