OK. But this seems to indicate that you must be invited to a specific private server, perhaps at a particular time. That means that clans really can't operate clan servers, which clan members can't join absent an individual invite, whenever you please - doesn't it?

Just to end this saga, everything I find indicates I can indeed

Last question if anyone knows: If I install W7 Pro on a new drive, and then put my current "Vista" drive back

Sign the petition - and keep on signing it: The A2K Clan Website has a direct message response they received from Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling saying that he's making sure the powers-that-be at his company see the outcry and petitions over the lack of dedicated server support in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (thanks Computer and Video Games). Word is: "Definitely made a big wave, and the response will not be ignored. I'll ensure everyone at IW sees the petitions and responses [sic] to it."

HHmmm. Trying to figure out how I would do that.

Never mind: It appears I'm screwed. What a pain in the ass to have to reinstall everything!!!! I might just sit on the $114 DVD and not upgrade at all.

SHIT FIRE!!!!

I'll be upgrading Vista Home Premium to W7 Professional Thursday. I'm aware that W7 does not come with an e-mail client and Microsoft would prefer you download Windows Live Mail (bastards.)

This is horrible news.

Firefighters have my respect - thanks for what you do.

These pretenders to royalty will soon be put in their place!!!!

Just pre-ordered yesterday at Gamestop and told them about the report it would be 11/24. They checked, and said it's still slated for PC release 11/9.

The best of another year of life to you fellow Libras.

Yup: we try to make you feel all warm and fuzzy. And then we blow your freakin' head off!!

Heh heh - couldn't possibly blow out 63 of them. Thanks all!!

Ah, I see (said the blind man, as he peed down his leg.)

Thanks Rockape. Being officially older than dirt is better than being buried in it I suppose.

So you guys are gaming on a PC connected to an LCD TV? That can't be as sharp an image, can it? Guess you'd have to sit back from it.

Thanks guys. Going up an inch doesn't seem worth it; and I take your points on larger monitors. Guess I'll save the money for now. Appreciate your responses.

I'm running a 24-inch monitor off GeForc 9500 SLI on a quad core with 4GB of system memory so I figure I've got the horsepower to move to a 28-32-inch monitor. - Is this worth doing? - Monotor recommendations?

A Nobel Peace Prize to Al Gore for perpetrating one of the biggest scams of the century, put the prize in a coffin. The award to President Obama for his first 10 days in office (the deadline for nominations was Feb. 1) wherein he did nothing in the cause of peace, but signed an order to release terrorists, delivered the nails. Now, let's bury that sucker in an unmarked grave.

As a fellow refugee from the wastelands of Northern NY (Ogdensburg,) now in Tennessee, I welcome you to the warm, sunny south; land of no snow, and no freakin' taxes up the ying-yang.
