Wow dark, I feel bad for you dude. You are being quite stubborn, and missing out on so much! Sounds like you don't like change very much. This is all just my opinion. -----Original Message----- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of dark Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 11:56 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] A Note to XP users
However again tom, you say "a newer and better computer" Suppose say winamp's next version won't work on xp, ---- well is it's next version any better than the previous one? Heck, I don't have the latest version of winamp now, mostly because what I do with winamp is quite okay anyway, indeed winamp only usually gets upgraded when I can be bothered. This is basically the problem with this philoosophy of "you must have the latest upgrade" my question is "well why?" I still own a snes, it still works, I still play games on it. Yes, there are plenty of other consoles with far better hardware and software, but none of them have as many playable games for me so why should I upgrade? yes, in a few years I might be forced to upgrade if my computer breaks, but if I'm going to spend a lot of money on a new machine, and learn a new interface I want some actual return on my investment. This is indeed why I waited myself back in 2008, in the hope that developers would make it worth my while to upgrade, but as yet nobody has, heck, if my computer died I'd be very tempted to get another xp machine just because I just don't see any bennifit in all the sshenanigans with a new os, all it would mean is losing outlook express, getting an inconvenient interface, and bad compatibility with several programs. I freely admit this situation may change, indeed I'd be very happy if it did and someone used these supposedly wondrous new features to create better games and software, but that just plane hasn't happened. Beware the Grue! Dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
