good point raul. Its been 2 years since we dumped all our old legacy software and systems. However 3 years ago we except for me were still using 1998 windows. last year we were still using office97. And last year through various means I was able to shift us out of that cycle. I also don't want to have what happened to alchemy to you since you really rock. However if switching to another language just to be nice and compatible means more wait time, I would be strongly against it as we have wait time loads of it as it is. I would prefur that the time not be increased. At 03:22 a.m. 20/01/2007, you wrote: >Hello Tom. I would vote for the faster game release.
