So is this some kind of retro computing talk about the masochistic experience of deliberately using Windows 8.*? :D
Longhorn was the codename for Vista.
You dare compare this beautiful animal to such a thing?

In case anyone is curious how this turned out she calved early Tuesday morning.

She even has a Longhorn emblazoned on her face.

I won Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force through WINE on Friday and I made it half way through Star Trek: Elite Force II on Saturday again through WINE while waiting for my Longhorn to calve. I am still waiting.

First game ran great as expected, but I am having some crackling audio with Elite Force II which I do not recall from when I played it through WINE back in the day. It is hardly crippling just an occasional nuisance.

Yeah, my followup article has been delayed until I can see what OldUnreal has managed. :)

"Main Gaming Resolution"
Ah, so it is. Sorry, it has been a long time since I changed my answers, but the PC Info display just says resolution on its own. I guess that is what I am asking about instead.

Technically my main screen resolution is 1680x1050 and my second head is 1024x768. Should we change the question to ask for your primary or main resolution? I can not be the only one with different sized screens.

I had the Postal Fudge Pack show up after I ordered it from eBay for $12.99 CAD just so I could add another game to the collection with a Tux on the box. This made me curious to see if I could get my old backed up Desura copy of Postal 2 working and after removing "libgcc_s.so.1" from the System directory and hacking it to support widescreen everything works great. I kicked around through Monday and still managed to somehow complete all of my objectives.

It is annoying that the Linux updates never made their way to GOG.com as of yet and Postal Redux is still missing in action from there. They say the team is all tied up with Postal 4, which I can understand, but at the same time I do wish they would finish what they started. Releasing the source code to Postal Plus still earns them plaudits though.

More than happy to give $10 to Cheeseness. As someone who has worked with a professional beekeeper for the last six years we shall see how jaded I have become though. :P

I have been kind of just sitting in limbo for the last few years waiting for one Build engine port to become definitive enough for me to play through Blood again. Here comes another contender.
