I know it sounds simple, but try eBay. That is where I got mine a few months ago, and I know several other CIC members did the same. I still see them pop up for sale from time to time. We got copies which originally came bundled with Creative Labs' Encore PC-DVD player. The Tech forum has a link...

I ran into the same thing a few months ago. I found all of the books offered on Amazon through 3rd party sellers and had to pay as much (usually more) per book for shipping. One seller never even sent me the book I paid for so I had to buy that one twice. I wound up spending about $75.00. Yeah...

Oh I have a DVD player or two laying around my house ;) , but I got the VHS WC for a really good price, and at the time I only had a TV/VCR combo unit in my office- which is where I've always watched it. Since then I've added a DVD player so I'll buy it on DVD one day- there seems to be plenty...

Yep. I keep a copy in my home office along with the 5 Star Wars films, the Battlestar Galactica movie, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, etc. I rotate between films to keep things "fresh." WC finds its way into the VCR about 2-3 times a year. Every time I watch it I'm reminded that, all in all, it...

Glad you guys are back- I was starting to display symptoms of withdrawl.....

Nah, not pass out, but you'll play a game, like Wing Commander, and the next morning you won't remember how far you got. All it takes is a quick boot of the computer and a an equally rapid scan of the kill board and it all starts to come back. I was kind of crazy in my 20s and did that a lot...

I learned a long time ago that drinking beer/liquor and playing Wing Commander don't exactly mix. When I was in my college years I'd play after coming home from the bars. It was great fun, but in the morning I could only remember part of what I'd done.....

There seems to be a lot of support here for the sixth film. I don't consider myself to be a rabid Star Trek fan (though I do like a lot of it), but the sixth movie is one of my favorite sci-fi films of all time. Generations was very good too. And like him or not, Kirk set the prescedent for all...

I've used both nVidias and ATIs over the years and think they each have their good qualities. In fact, I've noticed no huge performance difference between either maker's cards of the same "generation." My last 2 computers had nVidias (a GeForce2 and a GeForce3) but when the time came to upgrade...

Funny this topic came up now. My employeer is hosting a county-wide equipment sale as I type. We have probably 30 computers, 486s thru P3s, up for bids. I usually snag 1 or 2 for myself for the heck of it. An entire system can usually be had for under $50-$75.

I put a Radeon 9600 in my machine about a year ago, thinking it would be the end all for at least a while. Thanks to Doom3 I found myself buying a 9800 Pro a couple of weeks ago. The difference is noticeable.....

USS Yorktown. I used to work with a crusty old Chief who served on her at Midway. He was assigned to her after he survived Pearl Harbor.

Gotta go along with you on that one, but I prefer a trackball- really fast and accurate with some practice. HL was a great game too, and I'm looking forward to HL-2. RTCW had been my favorite FPS until Doom3 arrived.

Two rockets "in the hole" was what it took. The problem was that you had to make two trips up with the platform because each trip gave you just enough time to align for one shot.

I never could figure out what was being said at that last level, but I read somewhere that the "head on the stick" was supposed to be a likeness of someone who worked on Doom and was picked to be the final boss. I really like Doom3, quite an amazing game. I'm trying it on 2 machines...

Supply and demand, my man. I wasn't paying attention when KS was initially released and missed out on the whole deal. So, if ya wanna play (and I did) ya gotta pay. I got my first copy of KS off of eBay in good shape but used with a ragged out box and no calendar for about $65.00. I later paid...

I'm a domestic beer drinker myself, which doesn't go over too well in a mountain town full of Microbrew snobs who think anything from Bud or Coors is Red Neck (well, maybe it is- gee, I feel so bad). I prefer Coors light, Bud light, and I do like some Mexican beers like Pacifica and Corona...

God, how'd I know that was coming?

True enough. Recently I obtained all of the novels from vendors selling them as new and used through Amazon.com. All of the ones I bought were either new or in like new condition and cost less than $5 apiece. The exception was ER: I got a new one but they milked me for $15.
