P3D V4 Stopped enjoying it. Time to reconsider the options.

This ought to make the new guys feel better and us vets remember. Tandy at the mall was the ONLY place to buy a computer. IIRC I paid $2500 for a 16 mz with floppies to fly the 19 on a tiny monitor. Then I saw where if you wanted the "enhanced graphics" which meant a few more lines", you needed a faster system. So back to Tandy for their flagship, fastest uber computer. A mighty 25 mz!!!! for only $3 grand. I recall the salesmen asking, "Why the hell do you need such a fast computer?

Back then flight sims were a developers flagship product and I remember a shelf was devoted to sims. Wing Commander was by far the "It can't get no better than this" as I switched out floppies before every dialog,landing and worst, every dog fight.

This one has run aground - locking it down.
