Sundog came out in 85. And if I remember correctly it's a space trader game. (Not sure. I had c64 back then.) Elite which is a trader game too came out in 84.

tgz is fine for me. Avast is not detecting it. I'm scared.

1. Use Firefox. 2. Yes, flash is an instant disable. Jobs was right to not support of that piece of crap. 3. Use a proper pdf viever. There are quite a few, open source and commercial too.

Hehe, I was ripped off by Commodre even more. Only 38k from the 64 lol.

This. Very much this.

You still need this if you're a developer. I still need total control of my development environment. (Midnight commander and Total commaders are your friend for this.)

Oh dude, you don't get the problem. Currently my IDE eats up 10Megs and it currently compiles. File manager is eating up 14Mb. Age of Connan patcher 150Mb. Firefox with only 5 tabs 201Mb (ROFL wtf?). I'm planing open at least 1 more Photoshop and a 3DSMax instance. Get this, you don't necessery need to allocate all availabale memory. It could be used by other applications.
