Fernando,

I still have my old Dodge Dakota 1987 pickup with 59,000 miles on it. Maybe
there is an 8088 processor in the engine computer module. Ohh, maybe it is an
8086.

The reason I want the Fabulation machine is to allow me to play "Duke Nukem
Forever" and launch my nuclear missiles with an increased sense of realism.
I don't need a Voodoo 5500 video card just to play chess.  Chess is nice but it
doesn't ROCK.


Tim "The General" Frohlick


Duke Nukem Forever will be coming sometime in 2001 and will star Duke Nukem.
"Got a problem with that?"  "It's time to kick butt and chew bubblegum
and I just ran out of bubblegum!!"
