Well, to be fair, this computer already does have two hard drives. But
as far as continuing to play the ID games, I gave them up a long time
ago for the most part. Every once in while though, I like to go to my
favorite level and frag away. It's as if I'm partying with old friends

and as many posts from anonymous remailers (like x-privat.org for eg.)
as possible due to forgeries posted through them.

No ad, CD, commercial, cripple, demo, nag, share, spy, time-limited,
trial or web wares OR warez for me, please. Adobe Flash sucks, DivX rules.

I'll have to find a Win7-64 machine; great on Win7-32 though.

Had to use the Direct3D shortcuts to get any performance:


Target: - M:\Doomsday\jDoom.exe -d3d -doom2
Start in: - M:\Doomsday

Target: - M:\Doomsday\jHeretic.exe -d3d
Start in: - M:\Doomsday

Target: - M:\Doomsday\jHexen.exe -d3d -file ">data\jhexen\hexen.wad"
Start in: - M:\Doomsday
