I only like one, "DXBALL 2" the best breakout game for the PC. After a a busy day I like to relax that way, well not every day. It keeps my reflexes in a good shape. >Video games also >violate memory all the time and are a prime example of how dangerous people who >don't know how to program can be. That's probably somewhat of an exaggeration, >but in general the quality of video games is the lowest of all. Examples? From "DXBALL 2" I know it sometimes removes 50% of the shortcuts from my desktop, when booting again the shortcuts are back. It is hard to blame "DXBALL 2" for that as it can be a bug of Windows itself. You never know for sure. An example: We still use Word Perfect 6 for Windows (1994/95 or so) for the manual, setup advertisements, administration etc. as it still is good enough for us. In these days (1994) WP6 frequently crashed. Who was the guilty one, Windows or WP6? Well it was not WP6 as when we upgraded the machine from 8 Mb to 32 Mb WP6 never crashed again. >You might also run suspect programs through BoundsChecker, but I don't know how >to do that with a TSR. I remember BoundsChecker runs on NT only. I don't have Win2000 yet but I will try your suggestion as I need it anyway. Ed
