Guys, it's been fun. This old fart's old machine won't run AHII. So I'm gonna take advantge of the situation and spend a lot more time fishing this summer. Perhaps when the weather turns cold I'll upgrade the old girl and see you all again.

Take care all! CHEERS!

Maybe if you didn't spend all the money on that fancy fighter's chair, you could have upgraded by now.

Hehhe

Take care

Looks like a 12 inch screen to match that 17" bowl.  Brings back memories seeing that screen though.  I always liked the method aw used to 'icon' planes.  Distance and type along the side.  I remember when full screen came in.  Wow, that was a moment for history.

Yep, that's an old Packard Bell 233 that I used to play AW... I upgraded to a Gateway 1.2 for Aces High. So I will probably only need a new video card & some more ram. As for the monitor, it was either get something bigger, or start wearing reading glasses when I played... So there is a 19" on the desk now.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I spent most of my time in a goon or some other obscure bird, but I almost always had fun. It's no secret that I don't take anything too seriously.
Here's a more recent photo of the old slow goaly cooking chicken wings and drumsticks when it was 14 degrees outside.

There seems to be a common theme in the pictures... Cheers!

Maybe if you didn't have to print out each screen to see it, you could kill someone!

Sorry to see ya go, even if you have no clue who I am.
