No idea what drugs you smoked, but you should smoke less ;-)

*sorry but you talk about a X year old system on the getting started boards of a current gen 3D shader engine ... little bit of very strange ^^*

I think he's saying that the TGE experience is similar to coding on a zx spectrum back when he was 19.
I hope. :)

I remember those magazines...ahhh good ole' days.

On the Private Getting Started board and without a SDK ownership tag as well. Is there such a tag for TGEA only owners?

EDIT: typos...

@David

He owns TGEA. Purchase of TGEA (still) does not register as a Torque owner on the profile page. *sigh* We really need to get that fixed.

Mark - how cruel of me! That's what I get for trying to be an SQL geek.

You were lucky... my dad only had a TS 1000 and we had a standing house rule... no video games unless you wrote it yourself.

I wish more parents would make that rule :P

Of course, the tools are very different now than back then... lol
