I didn't know I needed to upgrade anything until I got FS.

Mine is a bit different, so I changed it to fit.

1. Buy computer

2. Get FS as a gift.

3. Find out you can download and add airplanes and scenery to FS, for free.

4. Find out you know absolutely nothing about FS or flying.

5. Join Forum and make many wonderful new friends who bend over backward to help, even though you are an idiot.

6. But new graphics card and power supply, to improve screen shots and in game graphics.

7. Give up on new graphics card and buy very expensive new computer, just for FS, no other reason.

8. Buy FSX.

9. Buy airplanes, enhancements, and scenery.

10. Pull out remaining hair trying to solve computer problems, all of which are related to FS.

11. Admit that you are now an ADDICT!!

No, it was my son, Tech Support. And since he has never charged me a penny for 'puter assistance, I believe he thought he was doing me a favor. Little did 'we' know.  Grin
