Ok... how many original CKers here?

Yup, similar story here.

AW-Dos on the Ozhost server about 11 years ago, then a break of a couple of years when the OzHost server was hacked and we lost AW in Australia.

CK beta, then Warbirds until 29th September 1999.  AH ever since.

Now looking forward to a whole raft of excellent-looking sims in 2001

AW Dos on Genie...only trial versions of WB, never played ck.  After AW went flat rate I swore I'd never play anything that had an hourly cost associated with it.  It's amazing how far we've come (well, how far guys like ht have come  )....and how spoiled it's made us    Now, when's that damn realalistic bob terrain comin...and the bridges and trains and weather and tougher damage model and mid war planes and fsp stuff and 3d with real depth perception and landing craft and submarines and modifiable plane skins and permanently running scenario arena and.....oops, perhaps I go too far afield...where was I? Yeah, spoiled

 I joined CK on version .87 or so.  Was instantly addicted, played like 6 hours a night and all day sat and sunday.  I still miss F15 almost 6 years later.

 I was in the D'ohmark CK beta, until they sent me the CD and I saw what it was going to be
