assistant: Hi, Mr. Waters,
        I'm a follower caller to your BBS through the Telnet. I just
want to ask  a question. I'm thinking of buying a Pentiun 75MHz with
16MB/ram and 28.8 or 33.6 modem. Will this improve my capabliblty on the
internet? Right now I have a 386sx 33#MHz 2MB/ram.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Marques...
Actually that is really loaded question.  The improved CPU / Memory /
Modem speed will help your Internet browser quite signifigantly,
however, your connection to the Internet is usually the point where
things bottleneck.  If you are now having unusually long lag times or
somewhat restricted data flows, these will only tend to become more
noticable, however on the other hand, if you have a really good ISP
with lots of bandwidth and a small number of hops to the Internet
Backbone, you should see a marked improvement.
Hope this helps,
Charlie

assistant: Well, Marques... without knowing what kind of setup that your local BBS
has, there really is no way that I can answer that.  My system is pretty
basic, and not designed for real heavy internet access.  (Although I am
considering upgrading due to the internet response).
You will get a lot of improvement from your net browser due to the
addition of more memory for caching and a better OS.  I assume you will
be moving to Windows95.  This will give you much better speed in program
execution and more efficient memory management.  I suggest that you
contact the Sysop of the BBS that you are porting through and ask what
kind of internet connection he/she has.  If it is better than 128 Kbaud,
and there are less than, say 5 users on at time, you should have no
problems, anything less, and the pipe is pretty thin.

I heard that the Bone CD wasn't all that good, Crossroads was the only

button... =)  Sounds like fun, but the machine that I saw was just a
regular machine... =/
[various versions deleted...]
I think they've ALREADY sucked SFII for all it's worth. Hardly
imaginable that they'd have so many spinoffs of SFII when it first came
out, in 1992 or so. It's unbelievable, four years later, the game is
still alive and kickin', just with updated modfications.
But SFII really started a whole new revolution in video games, would you
agree? Since that point, there must be hundreds of one-on-one games
created once they "saw the light" that games of this genre were very
popular.
After playin' SFII up till after a couple of new versions came out, I
stopped playin' it, along with every other one-on-one fightin' game
out there.
You know, I actually still sometimes play the regular SFII on my SNES
machine... =)
