"internexus" is about right, ugh

agree, but had problems with... mmmm... what was it... oh yes.. had problems with Java Runtime on firefox. I prefer firefox otherwise.
RSS feeds work a lot better with FF... I check the BBC's RSS news feeds daily.

recently re-installed FF when Gmail barfed on my IE browser cookies

Yes, this Dell Inspiron raptop has its good points and bad points. I do not recommend the Inspiron. It has a serious design flaw... can't clean the dust and lent for the primary cooling fan without removing the keyboard.

I have been fighting heat problems for months and have had AcesHigh drop to 1 freeking fps all due to heat build up. grrrrr :furious

If you just want to shut down programs during gameplay, and let everything go back to normal when your done, i'd suggest  "fsautostart".

On my xpsp2 machine, i play with  24 processes.  That's including Trackir exe., AHII exe, wireless keyboard exe., and wireless mouse exe.

Very beautiful photos, croduh...

This is my "Tigeress h2h Server Memorial Photo" I see everyday on my desktop that you took just after the coffin was closed forever.

It is a constant reminder of the wonderful times past... and the final setting sun on my server... boo hoooo.... looking at Bish Island from Knight Island with the clouds you gave me.

I miss those times so much. I will never get over this as long as I live and will never forget. :cry

It was like Cheers... where wonderful friends old and new who were good pilots, mature adult men and women, came to spend time and fly with and against each other...  many friends from across the world who knew and liked and respected each other and treated each other well... and everyone knew your name and you, theirs.

And spanking those young baby seal pups... but not too much, least they loose interest in flying and stop learning and teaching them how to fly combat and fight and win a war.  

And the trouble makers were only a .eject away from a server disconnect; No CH:200 nonsense and bad attitudes ever had to be put up with... not ever.

Fast and furious well fought wars... from the opening air battles above the channel to the last map-resetting troop entry into a map room. Both teams paid respects to each other at the end of each war... which lasted from an hour or two to as much as three hours if the opposing teams were well matched.

These people would have gladly paid a monthly subscription fee had HTC had enough business sense to have charged one... it was that good.
I would have paid $50 a month... it was that good.

HTC has no clue... no clue.

I am going to go cry for a while...

I have FSAutoStart....works GREAT to temporarily shut down process pigs to play AH.

New computer will have 2G RAM, 250G Memory, 256G video card, Dual Core processor, extended motherboard...should have it next Friday.

It has the capacity for up to 8G of RAM, and upgradeable to 500G of memory.

I will get an outboard 250M external memory drive to save everything on to keep the machine memory freed up.

Shouldn't have any porblems with AH...and the days of a frame rate of 3 should be over.
