Traditionally you should now start bullying the computer for it's lunch money 😅

I remember being extremely excited for this game, then they missed multiple ship dates and then when released it wasn't the ground breaking revelation we'd been promised, but I guess they had to get the money in to make it good. Happy with it now.

The big problem was the hype they built up before hand, any reasonably complex software has bugs, Assassins creed has some that followed it over multiple versions.
Gamers just need patience but it's something few of us have 😀

Don't bother, I have Windows 11 on a work PC and you barely notice the difference in day to day use.

If your current PC runs everything you need then you are ok, it's only security updates you might miss out on down the line but few are upgrading so MS may have to continue support

Very much this!, imposter syndrome and self doubt keeps us honest and makes you double check, whereas others charge ahead assured of themselves and end up in a mess

Thanks for the Fujinet tip, I was not aware!, will have to wait a while as I am working in another country at present but will be back for Christmas, so maybe then!

Yeah getting a cassette deck for it really changed my life, still got my Atari stuff in the loft somewhere, always wanted the Atari 800 but was a bit beyond my financial reach at the time

Well at least it's not trying to imitate Greebo

Mine was an Atari 400, hours of fun with that membrane keyboard entering page after page of code from magazines, only to have one of my older sisters trip, pulling out the power cable, and looking at me yelling "WHAT!" after I went ballistic.
