Cool graphics... Not too many years ago I was playing Galactic Civilizations for OS/2, dialing up at 300 baud to a Compuserve account, and talking to a live broker for trades. I think my 486 at that time had 64 or 128 megs of memory, and the HDD had 256 megs. Can that be right? Anyway, now my video card has 128 megs and my system memory now is four times bigger than my first HDD. Amazing. I downloaded the Galactic Civilizations II demo yesterday. Love computers. Don't get much time with them with the kids. Which is a good thing... I do not have the patience to program or anything however. I gave it a try with DOS 5 and a nifty Borland C++ compiler, gosh, 15 or 20 years ago. I couldn't handle it.
