Transport Tycoon is utterly awesome. Legolas Send a noteboard - 22/01/2010 01:36:28 PM
upgraded to 512MB RAM and 80GB HDD, and a 1.4GHz Pentium M. Bought it used for $350 two years ago. The one thing that bugs me about it is the 1024x768 14.1" screen, I want a higher resolution to fit more stuff on there. Plus I'd like to be able to play massive OpenTTD games on there (open source clone of Transport Tycoon of 90's fame, some online coop games have rail networks with well over a thousand trains which stresses the CPU quite a bit), but I can use the desktop for that.

A thousand trains is insane, though. How do you ever spend any time at all on something other than replacing old trains, repairing tracks and other boring maintenance stuff? That took up most of my playing time in the original game even with more modest numbers (say about 50 trains, 100+ road vehicles, couple dozen aircraft and ships).

An honest question- Why do people spend so much money on laptops? Bryce - 22/01/2010 10:52:03 AM 1034 Views
I'm mostly happy with my Thinkpad from 2003 Floffe - 22/01/2010 12:58:12 PM 533 Views

Oh, multiplayer? Several people on one company? Interesting. Legolas - 22/01/2010 07:03:58 PM 581 Views
The point then lies more in designing and implementing Floffe - 22/01/2010 09:18:41 PM 507 Views

I'm thinking about buying $5 jeans and putting holes in them. Kuke - 22/01/2010 02:26:42 PM 551 Views
Yup, I bought a netbook and it's better than any amount of money I could have spent on a laptop. *NM* BlackAdder - 22/01/2010 02:27:45 PM 406 Views
I honestly don't care for netbooks. Aemon - 22/01/2010 04:18:41 PM 599 Views
I like the 12 inch laptops quite well. Very portable, very nice. Bryce - 23/01/2010 08:54:54 AM 627 Views

You sound like you know what you're doing, so I'll make this an honest question. Aemon - 22/01/2010 04:38:33 PM 649 Views

Mine are portable design machines, so my aging Powerbook will likely be replaced by a Macbook Pro. *NM* Zalis - 22/01/2010 06:41:26 PM 246 Views

I really prefer desktops in nearly every situation. jh - 22/01/2010 08:37:05 PM 588 Views
I do too, but laptops are still useful. Aemon - 22/01/2010 09:29:04 PM 590 Views
Well, if you want to play games, it's fairly necessary. Ghavrel - 23/01/2010 02:31:10 AM 564 Views
I've actually gone that route for. . .hm, about 5 years of college now. Aemon - 23/01/2010 03:38:12 AM 715 Views
where can I find such desktops? TheCrownless - 23/01/2010 03:05:02 PM 523 Views
It would be fine while in the room. But I go to college in Boston and live in Louisiana. Ghavrel - 23/01/2010 08:22:35 PM 682 Views
