Re: Mission One - finished or not

Ah mm Switeck replies sounds like a winner as I cant imagine that I would have forgotten to save after I thought I had pickup up the constrictor pilot. After I complete my current assassination mission I head back to that system and see what happens. I tried looking at the save file but couldn't fin...

I can understand that programes for 9.04 might not be compatible with 9.10 which is what I installed analogous to your xp vrs vista. What added to the confusion I suppose is the playdeb link (http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/9.10/?q=oolite says it compatible with 9.10 but fell over when I tried...

For what I am about to say, forgive my for I am a newbie. My attempts to download oolite involved using ?repositories rather than downloading the packages directly. Probably because I came across a reference to this being the "better way" as this ensures all necessary files also installed ...

Primarily an AMD 64 4000+ with 2G Ram and AT x800xl works fine ok most of the time. When fighting massive space battles sometimes a little slow. Shaders all on. Intermittently play on asus eee 901. Doesn't seems to like huge numbers of .oxp's loaded at once. Can be quite a delay after jumping to new...

OK Fair enough.
I thought the book was finished and the question was whether to release it all there and then vrs drip feed.
So will connect weekly to download.

How about sending the complete work to that publishing site you used for "Status Quo". Those that want the complete work can reach for their wallet instead.

This includes me... I bought the paper book. Just prefer the feel of paper.

$Au400+ for the plus three!! Not that I am interested in selling mine, but this might force me into diving into the garage to see if I can find it and whether it works.... not sure what I'd connect it to though. I suppose the tv might have the correct connectors.... used to have a small monochrome m...

DaddyHoggy,

Could you send me a PM.

While never wanting to advocate Bittorenting, this program will never see the light of day on Antipodian tv.

I've still got my Acorn electron with a plus 3 discdrive and a slogger rom board sitting in the garage. Not too sure wheather the old Atari 2600 is still there. Parents might have got rid of it. But maybe I boxed it up and kept it.
