K, I got all...problem was administrator access...thanks, guys.

Can't install it is the problem. It says that setup has detected that I have the wrong operating system.

*blows dust off account* Does anybody remember the ancient ancient (1997?) Maxis game Marble Drop? And does anyone have any tips as to how I might be able to get it working on Vista?

I remember the celebrations and the fancy mouse trails we had when we cracked ten thousand members. I remember the three word story about the turtles and Uncle Death. To this day I have never seen a three word story with a more coherent plot. I remember following Sculpting Columbia River from beginning to end. I remember an odd fellow who drove buses in London, his username isn't coming to me -- only because for some extremely strange reason, I have a three+ year old chat transcript, never published, lying about on my computer. Dost k! those were days indeed, long gone days, ne'er to return...

Wow...I poke my nose back in after more than year's absence and the community's gone to pot, eh! It's just like what happened between SimCityCentral and Pegasus only on a far grander scale! Since I don't have any attachment to the SimCity community anymore, I must say that I find it all very humorous. Ah well, it's what they say about living on Earth. You have to establish other places where people can be to increase the likelihood of humanity, or in this case, SimCity 4, surviving. So folks, be like that, one of you on Earth and the other out in the stars, never cross each other's paths, continue to grow divergent, and you'll all get along just fine! God bless all of you, both sites included. I don't want to bother to register on another site now so I hope people from SC4D see this. Take care!

No guys, don't you see -- all the best and brightest at Maxis are working on Spore, the Next Big Thing. Spore's been in the works for years and it won't be out until the middle of 2008. SCS is a second-rate project, not even being created by Maxis, clearly meant to bang up something for the 2007 holidays before being utterly forgotten. That's what explains why SCS looks so bad. They're not putting the proper thought and development into it, because -- no disrespect to the Tilted Mill folks -- they don't even know the game. This is not SimCity 5 -- merely an intermediary whack. If Maxis still cares about SimCity, they'll give us another good one in six or seven years. But for now, all emphasis is going to be on Spore, just like it always was on The Sims in the past. If we just recognize this for what it is, as an intermediary step - call it SimCity 4.5 if you want - and realize that it's not the same game as what all the former SimCitys were, we'll have a moderately good game on our hands. I think TM may have realized this by not giving Societies a number. aaaand looking around forums after getting that knee-jerk out it seems everybody else has thought of everything I said already. I'll bow out now. The good thing about SCS is that it isn't making me emotional about the SimCity series and it won't make me waste time and money in college.

I lived in Pennsylvania for several years, near the border with Delaware. You could tell when you crossed into Delaware because the roads got better! I have been down I-97 a couple of times...it's not so bad as you think. It's very short, to be sure, but fairly important for that section of MD. I-70, as I recall, has a stoplight in Breezewood. That is pathetic. And the evil Barbara Mikulski is responsible for any and all traffic jams you encounter in Baltimore, for the moronic nixing of a plan to unite I-95, I-83, and I-70. They all go within one mile of each other but they don't connect. You have to use the Baltimore beltway to get from one to the next. Totally pathetic.

Masterfully done sir!

It's a beautiful poem. (And I apologize for duplicating a topic. Should have payed better attention.)

A very happy Veteran's Day (Remembrance Day) to you all. In the middle of your weekend, be it extra long or not, spare a thought to those men who survived the wars past; all they've been through to preserve freedom in this world. Veteran's Day falls on the day of the Armistice of World War One: the eleventh hour in the eleventh day in the eleventh month. Remember those who survived, and pray we never have to experience one ourselves.

Rumsfeld was the USA minister of war (before that he was ceo of halley-burton, the company that got the biggest contracts in iraq) quote> He was Secretary of Defense, not minister of war. And Cheney was CEO of Halliburton. Rumsfeld was unrelated. And something that most people forgot: to be included on Bush's ticket in 2000, Cheney had to resign from Halliburton and give up a very lucrative multi-million dollar retirement package. All for a shot at being vice president. I wouldn't do it! The Democrats can make Iraq a complete success.quote> But they won't. Between now and 2012, Democrats in charge will complete the Vietnamization of Iraq. Think Nixon taking over after Johnson. On a lighter note, why are they having Gates take over after Rumsfeld? Gates's track record for Windows security and Rumsfeld's track record for USA's security are remarkably similar.

I would hate to park near those beaches.
