I've got 4 desktop systems and a laptop ranging from my good performance AMD 2800+ to a P1 166 running DOS 6.22. I also have a linux machine running Redhat 8. Not included in these totals is a fully functioning Commodore 64. Man I've spent too much money on computers over the years.

Seriously, the lead programmer on arguably the deepest, best sports simulation has computers that probably can't even run the damn thing? Brilliant And do you know any places I can get CM 97/98 cheap? I've tried ebay, but after conversions and shipping from the UK it ends up around at least $30. |

I dunno, I just feel like it peaked with that game. No offense to Marc, because I've purchased every iteration after that and will get FM 06, but I think it got the depth/simplicity part correctly, and everything since then has made it a little more time consuming than I normally have time for. Plus the MLS mod was kick ass.

I highly recommend Ubuntu for a Linux distro. The install is easy as pie and it'll actually auto detect most everything. It's a really nice distro overall, and there's a great community that doesn't seem to be as elitist as the normal Linux crowd. I haven't delved too deep into it, but it's fun to mess around with. http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ |

Pentium 4 2.2 GhZ processor
512 MB Ram 80 gig hard drive dell 2001FP 20.1" LCD monitor and a 17" LCD monitor on a dual monitor setup, used for 8-tabling in poker(and tons of other things now that I've seen it in action, the extra scren space is very convienant). My wife has an inspiron laptop(I forget the model number), pentium 1.7 GhZ processor, 1 gig ram, 17" screen. Both run XP. My computer is about 3 years old now I think. It was slightly below top of the line when I bought it, at the time it was a pretty nice gaming system, 3D card for Everquest, etc. Now I don't play any of that stuff anymore and it's more than I need. I'll see how Civ 4 challenges it, hopefully it'll run fine. |

I got my first new computer in almost ten years last weekend (the old ones had been upgraded once or twice, but this was the first outright new box since NHL '96).
Specs: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 16X dual layer DVD +/- RW 48X CD-ROM 200 GB HDD 1 GB RAM ATI Radeon 200X Also has something like 7 USB ports and three ports for various types of memory card (SD, MMC, CompactFlash, so forth). The machine I had been using could barely run TCY, so this is like heaven by comparison. |

I still got it. It's the Italian version ("Scudetto 97/98") but it has all the European leagues, if I remember correctly. Original, obviously, but I don't have the box. If you want it, I'll send it to you. PM me if you're interested. |

Windows Firewall?!?!? Why bother? Seriously that is a pretty nice setup. I just don't consider Windows Secure enough to seriously consider it as a platform for a security device. What line of work are you in that you have a dozen plus servers supporting your home office? Again...that is a pretty darned nice setup. I have a lot of computers and a rack...but other than my two home systems, none of them are powered on. They just collect dust. |

The Win2K is by no means a default setup for the firewall. Just about every service is set to disabled. Only the basic ones necessary for routing IP traffic are set to start. At that point the Checkpoint kernel pretty much takes over the box. To someone trying to hack it on the Internet, you can't tell the OS that CheckPoint is running on.
The reason I have all of the servers is to set up demos and proof of concepts for customers. I'll set an environment up, and they can connect to see what kind of impact the company's software will have on their servers.
