Nah.. not if you make sure that you play from a 56k modem ;)

Wow an Apple 2G2 on a T1, must be nice. Better make sure you've got a good mouse to go with that because the Apple Cyclops is junk.

One day, sigh!

T1 is good if you have control over the network. On my T1, I suspect that the UDP/TCP packets that make it possible to drive my tank online get low priority from my network gods. The result is that during high traffic (i.e., nearly all day) my ping goes up to 200+ ms. I might as well be using a dial up modem. Other times (like early in the morning) I can get pings of 50 ms. You get what you pay for, I suppose....

FP, you probably get pings of 6-8 ms to the games you are hosting?

What about to the shockwave servers?

Lower is better... i.e., playing with a 200+ ms ping makes the scrum fall off the tank more often.

Hmmm, wal. I was just thinking... that kind of power might actually screw up your game. I mean...hehe...c'mon...you're so accustomed to using the older computer. Y'know...hehe..like they say...best to stick to the ol' tried, tested, and true. I'm sure everyone...ehem... agrees with me. Right guys?
