Re: Digital distribution that's keeping PC gaming alive There's one other thing that's revived PC gaming for me, and digital distribution does it by default. Apart from games I bought on Steam or from GOG, only one of them doesn't force me to insert the %^&*ing CD in order to play. This is despite the fact that games load just about nothing from CD these days because it's too slow!

You do realize that most common games have a no-CD crack available for them, right?

Odds are if it still works, it won't for very much longer, leaving it a glorified vase, with toxic metals in it.

What do you mean it won't work much longer? Chances are it'll last years longer, just like most other Apple hardware from the time. I've got Apple II systems that still function perfectly, CRT and all.

I had a house fire and almost lost all of my data...fortunately my secondary HD was ok. The fire wasn't too severe. The main one seemed to have failed, but I cloned all my data to the second one a few days before. Now I put all my important files on DVDs and keep them in my car, so if there's ever a fire again I won't lose the data.
