Suggestion time

So I have the new machine. I've loaded a lot games and a little software on it. But I'm unfamiliar with the world of next-gen computers, and also, I've really fallen behind on my software knowledge. I've discovered that a lot of the things I used to keep on my harddrive are now either redundant, incompatible, or simply without use

Look for TweakUI. It has a lot of the things it used to have and more. It's under microsoft, now, though. Found under the powertoys site

By the way, if you get a hankering for some online gaming, let me know. I have Doom 3 and the expansion, Diablo II (of course), Neverwinter Nights (and all expansions, though it doesn't work right for some reason), Half-Lives I and II, all kinds of Command and Conquer goodness, Total Annihilation, and, of course, World of Warcraft.

I can't think of what else I might have...

I forgot to mention that for talk while gaming you can get Ventrilo. It's a free download and we use it for WoW raids and such. Really helpful. We had a couple use a room on the server for their phone calls, it's so cool.

It can be set up so that one computer hosts it, like most games.

Oh! And Warcrafts II and III.

Since we have two computers we might be able to talk Jodi into a game of something. ;)
