VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

  • Naw, my first computer was a 386 20mHz with a 120meg hard drive. We had Windows on that sucker. I played Dune 2 and Master of Orion 1 on that machine... ::sniff:: Memories....[nt] -- Mr. Phule, 13:45:32 01/04/00 Tue
