It is a really great Mac-Only Game.

Does anyone know whether it will be carbonzied, cannonized, or sent to the old software/crapola pile?

Meanwhile, what ever happened to Object Dancer?

What kind of question is that anyway? How come you reply to your own question? Do you have a life?

Dances with Objects

Wasn't that a movie with Costner?

I don't know why, but the whole "gettin advise about computers from cows" idea actually frightens me as an investor and as an consumer.

How does an Iowa Dairy know so much about computers?

Are farmers now feeding cows ram chips instead of feed because of falling prices? Do cows have some inane sense of how motherboards work? Have these cows studied the workings of the USB and/or Firewire milk connectors/suckers too much? If so, what have they learned?

Are these alien cows? How come they know so much about computers? Are they going to take over the planet? If so, how will they make phone calls? Better yet, how will they fit in the phone booths?

Are these cows going to be mac advocates? Early macs were signed by their designers. If I pop open a Gateway case and find a hoofprint should I be worried?

Oh thank god! Somebody replied.

I was trying to figure out what semi-nitwit thing to say next.

I was questioning my own sanity at talking to myself. I've been playing Alice far too long. I'm ready to shoot that damn perfect-english-speaking cat. I don't even own a gun. I wonder, would it actually hurt the kitty or just shatter the monitor to pieces. Is this covered by the warranty?

Try downloading the demo from www.greendragon.com. Hope that helps. I think it's a wonderful game with an OpenGL based future.

Helen,

I actually find this little conversation you've had with yourself kind of amusing and charming on a certain level. You've even linked to this thread from another one. Have you ever considered the fact that you might be a goofball and a dork? I mean that in a good way of course!
I wonder what is says about me that I'm taking this time to talk about it in an open forum? Have fun!

P.S. yes, I've heard of gridz before, back when I had a Power Computing Powerwave 120 <--- Speedy!

Thanks davidflas for the insight... Hmm...

Well, I was always the uncool one. I don't know maybe I am a dork. A good-looking dork. but, a dork nonetheless.

I just wanted some attention. I guess. Everyone needs attention -even that grinning kitty in the Alice game. I'm sorry, I don't see anything wrong with that. I'd rather be noisy in an empty room, rather than to be too afraid to tell how I feel to noone.

However, this thread has served it's purpose for me.

Move along home...
